The article is about a nonexistent entity. The three universities mentioned are located in the same town and do cooperate to a certain extent, but they do not have a central organization. Wikipedia does have articles about university systems, but those refer to organizations with a central governing body, such as a president or a board of directors. All the information on the page is about the three institutions individually, and the "official page" is actually a page on the website of one of the institutions, containing only generic information about the town. I performed an Internet search and did not find any site jointly managed by the three institutions. In an image search, the logo appears only on Wikipedia and an anonymous YouTube channel.

Delete – At first glance, this seems like an attempt by someone associated with one of the smaller two schools to boost the prestige of their university. Both Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa contain claims to prestige in their articles based on membership to the system, with the latter's claim potentially failing verification. That being said, the network does seem to been real and significant, just not stand-alone notable. It is worth mentioning the system in the University of Pisa article. I'm going to wait for more input on this discussion before doing some removals to the smaller two university's articles of some sketching claims, but feel free to ping me in a few days if no one else chimes in, and I'll go ahead. – Ike Lek (talk) 06:23, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
