University of Bari is a state-supported university in Bari, Italy. Founded in 1925, it is currently headed by its rector, Professor Corrado Petrocelli.
The university's foundation was due to a royal decree in 1923 which called for the creation of an institution of higher learning in the region after Italy's reunification.
