The laurea

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is very misleading to call the Italian laurea, which traditionally entitled the holder to be called 'dottore' a 'doctor of philosophy degree' or indeed a doctoral degree at all -- it is basically a first degree. Italian universities did not award a true postgraduate doctoral degree until very recently, and so the Italian examples should all be removed. Mhardcastle (talk) 15:11, 15 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Cristina Roccati degree 1750 or 1751?

Latest comment: 8 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the table of women earning degrees the year for Cristina Roccati is 1750. But if one hovers over the name Cristina Roccati, which links to that page, the text reads:

"Cristina Roccati was an Italian physicist and poet who earned a degree at the University of Bologna (1751). This was the third academic qualification ever bestowed on a woman by an Italian university."

One must be incorrect. 147.147.43.242 (talk) 02:47, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
