The Polytechnic University of Milan, in Italian Politecnico di Milano or Polimi, is the largest public technical university in Italy, with about 40,000 students, offering courses in engineering, architecture and design. Francesco Brioschi founded it in 1863 in the hope of bettering Italy's scientific and technological progress, drawing on German and Swiss polytechnics, and it is the oldest university in Milan. Its two central campuses are Bovisa and Leonardo, with satellite campuses in five other cities across Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. Giulio Natta received the 1963 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on crystalline polymers, polypropylene in particular.
