The code is under the MIT license; assets such as the Sapienza logo and fonts in the repository have separate copyright constraints
Template Details
This template ports Sapienza University's still-in-use old website theme to Hugo. The top navigation is taken from the first-level entries of the Hugo site's `main` menu, and the subtree under each first-level entry is displayed in the corresponding "folder" position in the left menu. In addition to the site menu, a `pagemenu` key can be added to the front matter of a content file, with an array of entries, to render page-level navigation on the left side of the page.
The repository contains copyrighted image assets such as Sapienza University's logo and fonts. These assets are not covered by the MIT license of the template code and require separate verification of usage conditions according to Sapienza University's brand and visual identity guidelines. The README only describes the above menu and front matter behavior; it does not provide installation steps, configuration options, or deployment instructions.
