The great poet and jurist Cino da Pistoia, living in Marche in the years 1319–21, and in Camerino in the spring of 1321, had described the territory as blooming with juridical schools.
Camerino had become a center of learning no later than 1200; offering degrees in civil law, canonical law, medicine, and literary studies.
The University of Camerino claims to have been founded in 1336.
