Liceo Terenzio Mamiani, high school in Rome
Liceo Terenzio Mamiani is a public classical high school in Rome that focuses on classical languages and history. The building was completed in the early 1920s and features neo-baroque architectural elements, with large, bright rooms containing numerous classrooms and science laboratories.
The school was originally founded in 1889 at a different location and moved to its current building on Viale delle Milizie in 1923. During World War II, the building served as a hospital for wounded soldiers and survived the difficult wartime period.
The school is named after Terenzio Mamiani, a 19th-century political thinker who championed educational reform. This name reflects the institution's role as a place where students and teachers engage in questioning and critical thought.
The campus is located near the Vatican on Viale delle Milizie and is easily accessible by public transportation. The place is active and lively during the day as students and teachers move between classrooms, laboratories, and communal spaces.
The school houses a rare mathematics laboratory with historical models and calculation tools from the early 1900s that document the development of scientific thought. This hidden gem shows how students and teachers generations ago experimented with and learned science.
