Sapienza thesis cover colors

The right color at your defense: not a generic shade but the exact tone — your university's brand or your faculty's tradition — with high-definition gold or silver foil.

Main color

Sapienza bordeaux

#802433 — Sapienza's institutional colors are red, gold, black and white, codified in the university's official visual identity manual. For theses this translates into the deep bordeaux we see on 70% of covers: it recalls the institutional red in a more understated shade better suited to binding. The exceptions are Engineering and Architecture, which keep black by faculty tradition, and Medicine, which stays with dark red.

Lettering / details

Gold

#c8a368 — The spine lettering is in warm gold, consistent with the university's institutional red/gold.

Sapienza thesis printing: what to know

Sapienza is Rome's oldest university — founded in 1303 — and the largest in Europe by student numbers. Printing your thesis here means joining a tradition seven centuries long, and the cover is the first way to honor it.

At GUUG we print around 500 Sapienza theses a year. The institutional bordeaux (echoing the red/gold of the official visual identity manual on uniroma1.it) is the most popular choice for Humanities, Economics, Law, Political Science, Psychology and Communication. Engineering and Architecture keep black by faculty tradition. Medicine stays with dark red.

On this page you'll find what to choose based on your department, real turnaround times, and the answers to the questions we hear from Sapienza students coming from the Città Universitaria, Eudossiana, Valle Giulia and the Policlinico.

Sapienza is organized around one large Città Universitaria (Piazzale Aldo Moro 5) plus several separate sites for the faculties that need dedicated spaces: Engineering at San Pietro in Vincoli (Via Eudossiana 18), Architecture in Valle Giulia (Via Gramsci 53), Medicine at the Policlinico Umberto I, and Humanities also in Via Gianturco. From GUUG, in Via di Porta Castello in Rome's Prati district, you're 20 minutes by car from the Città Universitaria and about twenty minutes from the other sites.

Frequently asked questions

What thesis color do Sapienza students choose?

Most Sapienza students choose bordeaux with gold lettering: it matches the university's institutional colors (red, gold, black, white) codified in the official visual identity manual. Engineering and Architecture keep black by faculty tradition. Medicine stays with dark red / bordeaux. The other faculties (Humanities, Economics, Law, Political Science, Psychology, Communication) almost all go for the institutional bordeaux.

I'm in Engineering at Sapienza — can I choose bordeaux instead of black?

Yes, there's no obligation: the cover color isn't regulated by Sapienza, it's a custom. That said, 90% of the Sapienza Engineering students we see choose black — it's very recognizable at your defense. If you want to stand out you can go bordeaux with gold lettering, or black with silver lettering for a more technical, contemporary look.

How long does it take to print a Sapienza thesis in store?

Thermal and spiral bindings are ready in 5 minutes. A bordeaux or black hard cover with gold lettering is ready in 2 hours, guaranteed — always the same day. If you defend at the Città Universitaria on Monday morning and reach us by 5 pm on Friday afternoon, we'll have it ready for pickup on Monday morning, comfortably in time.

Can I print my Sapienza thesis with the cherub logo on the title page?

Yes, but the Sapienza logo is a registered trademark and its use is governed by the university's trademark regulations: in general, the thesis title page may carry it if it complies with the guidelines. To be safe, we recommend checking with your department's registrar before printing. We have the logo in the correct proportions and can apply it properly.

How do I get from GUUG to the Città Universitaria with my finished thesis?

From Via di Porta Castello 29 to the Città Universitaria in Piazzale Aldo Moro it's about 5.5 km, 20 minutes by car through the center or via the Lungotevere/Tangenziale. By public transport you can take a bus, or metro A from Ottaviano to Termini and then metro B to Policlinico, or direct buses. Either way, we hand you the thesis in a rigid folder so it doesn't risk bending on the way.

How much does it cost to print a thesis?

Thermal binding starts at € 8, the hardcover from € 25; printing is € 0.05 per side in black and white and € 0.40 in colour. The exact price depends on pages, copies and finishing — you can calculate it with our configurator.
