Scuola Italiana Statale di Atene

Scuola Italiana Statale di Atene is an Italian international school in Ano Patissia in northern Athens, Greece. Owned by the Italian government, it serves elementary, lower secondary, and liceo levels.
It was officially established in 1956. No later than 1968, was it run as a two-fold school, namely an Italian and a Greek one. In 1968, the two sections were merged and the pupils were educated accordingly to both the Italian and Greek instructional systems. As a result, they were entitled to hold exams either for the Greek "Apolytirion" and the Italian "Maturità". Until 1972 the headquarters of the School were to be found in the "Casa d'Italia" magnificent building . In 1972, however, they were transferred to a Vatican-owned building, former seminar of Roman Catholic clergymen, at Greek capital's fringes . In 1974, moreover, two separate sections, that is to say an Italian and a Greek one, were re-established and, at last, in 2015 the Greek section was closed down.
