The University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli (Italian: Università degli Studi della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli") is an Italian research university founded in late 1991. Its main seat is in Caserta, but its academic departments are also located in a series of historic and contemporary buildings in Naples, Aversa, Capua and Santa Maria Capua Vetere.
It was previously named The Second University of Naples, as it was created to reduce University of Naples Federico II's overload.
The University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli is divided into academic departments, service and research centres.
