In the autumn of 1496 he travelled to Italy, entering the University of
Bologna on 19 October 1496, to start three years of study. As a native German
speaker he joined the "German Nation of Bologna University". Each student
contributed to the "German Nation" an amount they could afford and the small
contribution that Copernicus made indicates his poor financial position at
that time.
