Frederick II Hohenstaufen, King of Sicily and Head of the Holy Roman Empire founded University of Naples “Federico II” in 1224. He decided to create a Studium (School) inside his reign to permit his subordinates to study without going away. The Faculty of Engineering arose from “Scuola di Applicazione per Ingegneri di Ponti e Strade” (Training school for Bridge and Road’s Engineers) founded in 1811. One of its numerous departments has a prominent importance in the aerospace field: DII – Industrial Engineering Department. The former Aerospace Department was dived in two sections: DISIS (Department of Science and Space Engineering) and DPA (Department of Aeronautical Engineering). The DPA was founded by Gen. Prof. Umberto Nobile, famous designer, dirigible pilot and polar explorer. He was also the founder of the Institute for Aeronautical Constructions in 1926 which became the Department of Science and Space Engineering (DISIS) “Luigi G. Napolitano” in 1995. The Department includes teaching and research activities for a huge number of disciplines with strong synergies with the two Aerospace research centers in Campania (CIRA, CORISTA). In order to preserve his memory and prominace academic figure, EUROAVIA Napoli was dedicated to him in 2003.
