Luigi Pirandello was born in 1867 in Girgenti (now Agrigento) on the island of Sicily. Luigi's father was a fairly prosperous sulphur dealer and intended that his son should follow in his footsteps, but the boy demonstrated a studious bent early on, and as a result, he was provided with a literary schooling. He entered the University of Rome in 1887, but later transferred to Bonn University where he completed his doctoral thesis, a study of his native Sicilian dialect.

The first university-based dental school in the country, Harvard School of Dental Medicine was founded in 1867 and was the first institution of its kind to be closely associated with a university and its medical school. A unique feature of the curriculum places dental students in joint classes with medical students for their first two years of basic science and introduces students to clinical medicine at Harvard teaching hospitals and community health centers.
