This document provides an overview of an Italian technical school that offers several educational tracks. It began in 1966 as a secondary technical school for chemistry but has since expanded to include studies in computer science, agriculture, agronomy, and sciences. Students attend five-year programs in chemistry, IT, agriculture, or sciences to obtain qualifications and job skills. The school has classrooms, laboratories, a library, gymnasium, and auditorium. It aims to provide students with skills and knowledge applicable to careers in chemicals, computers, farming, and more.
