The rescue of the liceo classico. Grow enrollments in recent years – in 2019 were 6.8% compared to 6.7% in the previous year – and the schools where they studied Greek and Latin are put on display. For a night out. Will it happen tomorrow, Friday, 17: 436 institutes will celebrate the sixth edition of the Night of the national high school classic offering to the public performances, readings, discussions. With a theme for all: the Watchman in the Agamemnon of Aeschylus announce the light of the good news.
“The name of the initiative can play malaugurante, but let’s say that the “night” wants to be the prelude to dawn,” said F ederico Condello, a philologist and Greek scholar at the university of Bologna , author of the book “The right school. In defense of the liceo classico”. “The good news of the Agamemnon, it observed, will be the increase (or at least the seal) of the membership of the school’s most beloved-hated in the Country? Can be. But I think that, rather than waiting for the annual results of pre-registrations with the anxiety of the brokers who expect stock prices, we should understand and make understand what the “liceo classico”.
And this is the point in time of the inscriptions, is not indifferent. “Only his detractors – or his fake friends – portraying him as the “school of Greek and Latin”, which would mean, inevitably, the school to few or few – continues Federico Condello – The high school is not this, but rather an ecosystem, disciplinary, rich and complex, that teaches the methods and attitudes of intellectuals well before that matters, and that this “channeling” early on his students, but leaves them free to develop and orient to pleasure their talent. This is his extraordinary strength. And for this reason, the liceo classico was and can still be an exceptional tool of democracy and justice. It is easy to understand that someone annoyed by that”.
Here is some initiatives in the classics in Italy . For one night, the Leopards will meet Dante, the theatre embraces the dance and the students will compete in contests of citations.

The poem written on the text of the philosopher of Ereso, is the song the winner of the competition of creative writing created by Gabriel Bianchi, a student of the liceo classico ‘Repetti’ Carrara . The central argument of the night national of the classical schools by 2020, and the relationship between the individual and nature through a path in the theatrical, artistic, musical, and at the school of Acireale takes inspiration from the four natural elements: air, water, earth, fire, declined on topical issues: “From the water to the phenomenon of migration,- has explained the teacher Pina Scull of high school siciliano – from the fire to the passion, touching not only the issues of our time, but by probing the feelings of the human soul in an intimate marriage between the past and the present”.
