Ghislieri College, Mannerist university college in Pavia, Italy
The Ghislieri College building features a minimalist facade with a central portico, standing prominently in Pavia's historical center near the university buildings.
Pope Pius V established Ghislieri College in 1567, appointing architect Pellegrino Tibaldi to design the structure, which began construction in 1571.
The college library maintains a collection of 130,000 volumes, representing one of northern Italy's largest private book repositories with materials from various centuries.
The institution selects forty new students annually through nationwide examinations, providing accommodations and educational support based on financial circumstances.
The medieval castle of Lardirago, allocated to the college in 1569, continues to generate revenue and ensures the institution's administrative independence.
