Giuseppe Micheli School

The elementary school Micheli, in piazza XI Maggio, is named after the military engineer Giuseppe Micheli. The original building was inaugurated in the summer of 1889, just in time for the first day of class.The original building was a two-story structure, which quite soon proved to be inadequate to the growing school population of the times.In the early 1920s the problem was solved adding another story to the building.
