The "G. d'Annunzio" University of Chieti-Pescara (Italian: Università degli Studi "G. d'Annunzio" Chieti-Pescara) is a university located in the neighbouring cities of Chieti and Pescara. It was founded in 1960 and is organised in 12 Faculties. The University currently has over 29,000 students.
The "G. d'Annunzio" University derives its name from the writer, Gabriele d'Annunzio. It was first instituted as an independent university in 1960. It was originally located in the medieval town of Chieti and comprised only few faculties. In 1982 it gained the status of national university and has subsequently grown..
