Collegio Alberoni, Catholic seminary and national heritage in San Lazzaro, Piacenza, Italy.

The Collegio Alberoni encompasses a seminary, art gallery, observatory, natural sciences museum, library, and the parish church of San Lazzaro e San Vincenzo De Paoli.

Cardinal Giulio Alberoni initiated the construction of this educational institution in 1732, which opened its doors to students in 1751 after experiencing damage during wartime.

The Galleria Alberoni displays artworks from masters like Antonello da Messina, Jan Provost, and Guido Reni, alongside a collection of 18 large Flemish tapestries.

The seminary provides eight years of education for clerics in the Diocese of Piacenza, combining spiritual formation with philosophy, morals, and scientific methodologies.

Students gain access to an astronomical observatory established in 1870, enhancing their educational experience with both theological and scientific pursuits.
