Liceo Classico Massimo d'Azeglio
Liceo Classico Massimo d'Azeglio is a public sixth form college/senior high school (liceo classico) in Turin, Italy. It is named after the politician Massimo d'Azeglio.
History[edit]
It was established as the Collegio di Porta Nuova in 1831 and became the Regio Collegio Monviso in 1860. It was renamed to its current name in 1882.[1] In the early 20th century, several of the teachers were anti-fascist figures, including Augusto Monti and Zino Zini. David Ward, the author of "Primo Levi's Turin", wrote that Liceo d'Azeglio was "one of Turin's most prestigious schools".[2]
The school is linked to the founding of Juventus FC as Sport-Club Juventus in late 1897 by pupils of the school;[3] two years later, they were renamed as Foot-Ball Club Juventus.[4] The school held two study days in honour of alumnus Primo Levi in 2007.[5]
