The Technical High School at Chiavari was
founded by Royal Decree no. 1700, on October 16, 1924 and it was named
"In Memoria dei Morti per la Patria" (" In memory of those
who died for their country").
"Chiavari Economic Society" had
already been suggesting for some years to found a high school "to
prepare the young for commerce" and at the end of the First World
War it was possible to carry out that idea founding a Municipal Technical
School, thanks to financial aids from the "Economic Society"
itself, local councils and private people.
This school started operating in the school
year 1923\24 with about one hundred students. In the following year the
school was taken over by the State and it has been present in the area
of Chiavari ever since as an important cultural and formative institution.
After the Second World War, a course for
surveyors was added to the one for accountants , since there were none
between Genoa and La Spezia.
As years went by, the school grew in size
and it was necessary to build a new building early in the 60's and to
open a branch at Rapallo which , after some time, became an indipendent
Technical High School named after Fortunio Liceti.
Nowadays the Technical High School at Chiavari
has 27 classes, 14 belonging to the course for accountants and 13 to the
one for surveyors, which are located in two buildings: in the main one
there are classrooms to accomodate all the students attending the course
for accountants and three forms of the course for surveyors; the
other forms of the course for surveyors are in a building in Castagnola
St. which was completely remade in 1997;
This school year there are about 570 students.
