From 15 December 2023 to 30 June 2024 Palazzo Toni, in Piazza Carducci 1, home of the Liceo ‘Sansi Leonardi Volta’ in Spoleto, will host the exhibition “Sulle orme di Achille Sansi”.
The event is the final stage of a two-year-long school-work alternation course, during which, thanks to the close collaboration between the school, the State Archives of Perugia-Section of Spoleto and the Municipal Administration-Library ‘Giosuè Carducci’, the students were able to investigate the multifaceted figure of Baron Achille Sansi (historian, poet, archivist, education expert and cultural heritage expert).
The project was realised on the occasion of the bicentenary of Achille Sansi’s birth, in consideration of the commitment he spent on the establishment of the city’s grammar school and the fact that the school is named after him.
The exhibition displays a selection of documents that testify to the rich and varied activities of Achille Sansi, a truly multifaceted genius, and offers an overview of the places where he lived and worked.
Accompanying the visitors during their visit to the exhibition will be the students who carried out the project. The realisation of the initiative was also an opportunity to create a permanent exhibition space within the school.
The exhibition can be visited from 15 December 2023 to 30 June 2024 during school opening hours by appointment: +39 0743 221123 – pgis026007@istruzione.it
