description: 'Politecnico di Torino (PoliTO) is Italy''s oldest technical university, founded in 1859 in Turin, and a leading
  European institution for engineering, architecture, and design, ranked #241 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its
  public developer footprint centers on an official OpenAPI specification (polito/api-spec) for the REST API that powers the
  official students mobile application, plus an institutional open-data portal publishing academic datasets. Code is published
  openly under the verified @polito GitHub organization, while the production API itself is consumed by official first-party
  apps and is not offered as a self-service public developer program.'
