Thanks, Svevo.
I knew that he was a senator, but the link you gave was new to me. Perhaps I could have found the correct dates also from Franci's books, but they are at home and I am writing from my office. I visited Bologna myself 11 years ago giving a few lectures and had very nice time with Franci, Passi and Marchignoli.

Dear Klaus,

I cannot be 100% sure of course, but I think that source might be incorrect. 
According to several other sources, including the original files from the Senate of Italy linked below (Pullé was also a senator of the Kingdom of Italy), Pullé was first "Full professor of Sanskrit and Comparative history of the classical languages" in Padua from June 3rd 1886 to 1889; then "Full professor of Sanskrit" in Pisa only for a few months, starting June 20th 1889; and eventually "Full professor of Indo-European Philology" in Bologna from October 23rd 1899 to 1925.
In fact, he established the "Gabinetto di Glottologia Sperimentale" (later renamed "Istituto di Glottologia", then "Dipartimento di Studi Linguistici e Orientali" and currently "Dipartimento di Storia, Culture e Civiltà") in Bologna already in 1902.

There is a short obituary notice of Dumont by  K. V. Sarma in Vishv. Ind. Jnl 7, 1969, 157f. According to my files (Ballini's obituary in  RSO 16, 1936, 155-158) Pullé moved from Pisa to Bologna only in 1903.

Thank you very much dear Svevo for this useful information.
The reason of my question was a bio-bibiographical notice I am currently writing on Paul-Emile Dumont (Brussels 1879 - Baltimore 1968).
His PhD was from the University of Bologna. See (University of Bologna digital archives):

http://www.archiviostorico.unibo.it/template/listStudenti.asp?IDFolder=143&filtro=no&start=..&offset=18030

Paolo Dumont di Saint Gilles (Belgio), Facoltà di Lettere, 24/06/1903, tesi: Tesi mancante: Degli scambi di parole avvenuti fra l'india e il mondo ellenico in seguito ai loro rapporti politici e commerciali, e delle leggi fonetiche che se ne possano trarre

If somebody knows an obituary notice on P.E. Dumont, I would be interested by the reference or a copy. Presently, beside his Indological writings and  a few family archives, I only have the reference to an obituary published in the Baltimore Sun (or The Sun, Baltimore) on the 10th of December 1968 (but no copy of it). Any living testimony would be also appreciated.
Best wishes,
Christophe Vielle

Dear Christophe,

if I am not mistaken, from 1899 to 1925 it was Francesco Lorenzo Pullé who was in charge of "Indo-European Philology" at the University of Bologna. A former student of Angelo De Gubernatis in Florence, Pullé had also studied with Albrecht Weber and Heinrich Kiepert in Berlin. 
He counted among his own students in Bologna several noteworthy scholars such as Luigi Suali, Ambrogio Ballini and Ferdinando Belloni Filippi.

Best,

Svevo D'Onofrio

Dear List,
I would like to know who was in charge of Sanskrit/Indology or IE comparative grammar in the University of Bologna in the years 1900-1903.
Thank you for your help,
