confer
I'd like to see the sentence in Italian, but anyway I'm pretty sure that the verb confer is used in this context.

Having seen the Italian, I agree with Michael that grant or award are quite suitable for a diploma. However confer still seems to be used in academia for diplomas too, though perhaps to a lesser extent.

to award
I would have thought the passive is probably more usual "..is awarded", but if it's really the Rector (Magnificent or otherwise) who is doing the awarding then I don't see why not.
Perhaps also "hereby awards" or "confirms the award of".
Perhaps also "hereby awards" or "confirms the award of".

Award or confer for degrees.
Personnally I would never say I as "conferred a degree". I was invited to the "degree awarding ceremony"

but didn't attend.
Obviously to "confer a degree" does exist
http://www.google.com/search?hl=it&q="conferred a degree"&b...
but to award a degree is by far the most common useage.
A title, however, would not be awarded except for the titles that come with academic qualification, where it is really the doctorare or whatever that is awarded.
