First Impressions
We interviewed some Erasmus students about their first impression of the school Liceo Machiavelli. We heard some interesting and different points of view from them. Most of the students agreed on the school being ancient and classical. The school has some awesome decoration, especially in the Aula Magna. Many students like the school for having an inside and an outside space. The school is huge and beautiful. Some of the other students didn’t like the architecture of the school, meaning that the school has no floor on the ground floor and the building doesn’t look like a school. Some of the students loved that there is a museum in the school, they think it’s a wonderful and awesome thing to have. Many students were interested in the
different ancient stuffed animal, rock and minerals collection, but the other students were shocked to see the museum. In some of the European countries there is no museum in the school, the museums are separated and are kept in their own buildings. So those students who are used to the separation of the two think that it is very weird that the school has a museum. Some of the students were wondering why there is a museum in the school, but as the other students answered it is very rare and awesome to have a museum in a school. Everyone we interviewed agreed on a thing that the schools classes are awful and in a very bad condition. Anyway the participants liked the Italian students and thought that they are very friendly and nice.
Interview Interview about The History of Liceo Classico Niccolò Machiaveli Ερευνητική Αναφορά: Liceo Classico Niccolò Machiavelli appears as an ancient and interesting building: it has a lot of different rooms all of which hold various scientific items and artifacts. In order to know more about the history of the building we got the
chance to interview two of the students of this school. To begin wit0h, they told us that the school was built in 1785, and this makes the school the most ancient inTuscany. Anyway, it was not a highschool at first, it was a university were people could study a whole variety of scientific subjects. Due to the changes at the governement and
the time going by the building went through a lot of changes and it finally became a Royal highschool in 1819. During all these years of history a conspicuous amount of items are now kept in the museum that is found in the school premises. Other interesting rooms, of which the hemicircular amphitheatre is the most important one, are used even
nowadays as a facility helpful for the students. To conclude, as we asked if some ancient rooms were still in use nowadays, the students answered that a lot of them were used to host the museum and the school library.
