The Scuola Normale Superiore De Pisa or SNS (As it is often abbreviated for ease of use), is a public university in Pisa, Italy. Established in the year 1810, It is one of the members of the grandes ѐcoles or Scuola Superiore Universitaria (Superior Graduate School) and among three special- statute universities sanctioned officially.
