LICEO “LE FILANDIERE”
Liceo “Le Filandiere” has a peculiar history . Its name comes from the Italian
word “filanda” which was a factory where women spun cotton and silk. In fact the
building had been used in this way since the second half of the 19th century. Then
the structure was renovated, in 1992 when the High school moved here. Today
you can see the particular windows and the chimney standing outside that
symbolize the origin of the building.
Liceo “Le Filandiere” is a state school. Students can choose different
courses: science, computer, languages and classical courses.
In our school there are a lot of rooms: 3 science laboratories, 2 computer
rooms, a school library, a big gym and a big auditorium.
Now the number of students has
increased, therefore the fourth
year classes attend lessons in
another building nearby.
The school is opposite the bus station and the train station, so it is easy to
reach.
