Alumni Testimonials

Eager to have an out-of-town experience, I found in the University of Tuscia in Viterbo an environment tailored to students, livable, accessible, perfect for graduation. Here, I could study my lifelong passion, archaeology, discovering new interests like archival studies. Studying at Unitus was a fundamental moment of growth, filled with opportunities, people, friendships, and affections.

Salvatore Sindoni – PhD in Archaeology at the University of Tuscia

My university experience began even before graduating from high school. As a high school student, firmly committed to enrolling in the Archaeology program, I decided to travel from Rome to Santa Maria in Gradi to take the entrance test. I never thought that this choice would allow me to live the most exciting experience of my life. Enrolling at the University of Tuscia was like joining a family—a family through which I grew professionally, achieved important goals, and where I hope to spend much more time, continuing to attend and live in those places that welcomed me with open arms eight years ago.

Claudia Sorrentino – Researcher in Archiving and Technologies Applied to the Enhancement of Cultural Heritage

Even before enrolling, I was certain of one thing: I wanted to become an archaeologist. Initially, the University of Tuscia was the “alternative to try,” to distance myself from the chaos of Rome, to avoid feeling like just a number, to have a new experience. After a week of classes, I felt I was heading in the right direction. Yes, I had chosen the right field of study. After a month, I felt at home. After a year, I moved to the city. In the years spent at the University of Tuscia, I didn’t just collect two degrees (bachelor’s and master’s), but also experiences, professionalism, friendships, and memories. With the University of Tuscia, I grew and ventured into studies abroad, the world of work, and professional experiences in a more confidently way than I could have imagined.

Miriam Noto – PhD student in History and Geography at the University of Valencia

The story of my experience as a student at the University of Tuscia began by chance in the distant autumn of 1997 when I arrived in Viterbo to enroll in the Cultural Heritage program driven by a passion for art and archaeology. I immediately found a familiar and lively environment, a stimulating and engaging cultural ferment, an ideal place to welcome and nurture young people like me who had many plans and dreams for the future. Even today, after years, after obtaining my degree, attending courses, seminars, conferences, archaeological excavations, and numerous initiatives I had the pleasure and honor to take part in, I am certain that I will never break the bond that ties me to this important university that has been and continues to be a reference point for my professional development.

Sabrina Sabatini – Archaeologist

I attended the University of Tuscia in the years when the Faculty of Languages was born. A place of important encounters, I remember those years with infinite gratitude for my teachers and with nostalgia for the many beautiful relationships that originated from those years. Then there are the impressions and memories. The still unpaved road we walked, the new structure on via S. Camillo de Lellis, the current headquarters of DIBAF, the lecture hall where we attended the most crowded subjects… the same hall where in November 1990, I harvested the fruits of the journey: 110 cum laude and compliments from the present faculty. A long journey for “our” University since those years. A journey that we will try to support with the Alumni Association.

Clara Vittori – Headmaster of the Mariano Buratti Classical and Linguistic High School in Viterbo

During my university days, the word “Protocol” became familiar to me with the entrance to the laboratory, marking the beginning of the experimental phase, much anticipated. It wasn’t just a protocol for the successful completion of the experiment, but primarily a protocol to define the rules of collaboration and work within the small lab community. Now, in my professional life, especially during the Covid-19 era, the word “protocol” returns with greater experience, to prevent and ensure the safety of a larger community, our community!
