The University of Milan is relatively young in the Italian panorama, as the city of Milan historically referred to the University of Pavia, founded in the fourteenth century.

The direct antecedent of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University was the Scientific-Literary Academy which, like the Royal Technical Higher Institute (the current Polytechnic) was promoted by the Casati law of 1859. Mainly aimed at its beginnings in teacher training, although there was no lack of requests, especially by Graziadio Isaia Ascoli, to accentuate its more scientific functions, a school of modern languages was later added to the Academy.
