Theatrical performances, music, recited readings, even a Monopoly inspired by the city's monuments in English, will celebrate classical culture. 200 students involved. On the same days of April 19 and 20, the XI "certamen vergilianum neapolitanum", a Latin competition that will involve students from 13 Italian high schools, including Mamiani in Rome and Dante Alighieri in Ravenna, will also take place. The appointments, open to all, parents and enthusiasts, will take place from 6 pm to 11 pm at the headquarters in Via San Sebastiano and will involve students from the Vittorio Emanuele II-Garibaldi High School, led by headteacher Stefania Colicelli.
