The Civico Liceo Linguistico Alessandro Manzoni is a high school in Milan, Italy. Founded in 1861 as an all-girls' school, it was renamed after poet and author Alessandro Manzoni in 1886. In 1978, the school began accepting boys.
Students are admitted through an entrance exam, typically held in December of their final year of middle school. In 2011, La Repubblica reported that 1,100 students applied for 250 available places.[1] In 2013, Corriere della Sera reported a 6:1 applicant-to-place ratio.[2]
The institute is a school run by the Milan municipal administration (Labor, Youth, and Sports Directorate, Labor and Training Area) and falls under the jurisdiction of the relevant department. The school is divided into two divisions: the linguistic high school and the Economic Technical Institute (ITE).[3]
The school's archives contain various historical artifacts, including a speech given by Paul VI and a gift from the Queen of Italy to the female students in 1894.[citation needed]
