Naples, March 2 – Students from Liceo Alberti in Naples are set to make a full return to in-person classes by March 12, following a meeting between a delegation of students and parents, and metropolitan councilor Ilaria Abagnale and engineer Pasquale Gaudino, coordinator of the school heritage management and enhancement area.
Temporary Transport and Classroom Solutions Implemented
As an immediate measure, seven ANM shuttles have been made available for both morning and afternoon transport, specifically for students commuting from Via Pigna, where Liceo Alberti is located, to Via Barbagallo in Fuorigrotta. This location hosts the Vittorio Emanuele II Institute, which has offered its entire premises for afternoon lessons from Monday to Friday and morning classes on Saturdays.
Additionally, the Enrico De Nicola Institute on Via E.A. Mario in Vomero has provided 15 classrooms, offering an easily accessible solution for students. These arrangements aim to facilitate a complete return to presence for the entire student body this week, a situation closely monitored by Metropolitan Mayor Gaetano Manfredi. The Institute Council of Liceo Alberti is scheduled to decide on the utilization of these provisions this afternoon.
Accelerated Works for a Timely Return
During today’s meeting at Sala Borsellino in Palazzo della Provincia, the previously communicated work schedule was reconfirmed to the school principal, Silvia Parigi. The internal staircase, equipped with smoke-proof filters, is expected to be completed by March 7. The construction company is working in multiple shifts to minimize disruption and ensure timely completion.
Following the inspection and certification of these works, a temporary SCIA (Certified Notification of Commencement of Works) will be submitted to the Fire Department. This will allow the school to utilize the ground, first, and second floors, enabling all 980 students to return to their classrooms. Concurrently, rapid progress is being made on the external staircase, which is anticipated to be restored within approximately one and a half months. A definitive SCIA will be submitted upon the completion and certification of these works.
Background of the Situation
The need for these measures arose from structural issues at Liceo Alberti, which necessitated temporary relocation and hybrid learning models. The ongoing efforts by the Metropolitan City of Naples aim to restore full functionality and safety to the school premises, ensuring an uninterrupted educational experience for its students.
The commitment from local authorities and the cooperation of other educational institutions highlight a concerted effort to address the challenges faced by Liceo Alberti and its community.
