Liceo Classico
“G. Verga”
History
Liceo Classico Verga is one of the
oldest high schools in the province
of Catania. It
was, infact,
authorized in 1904 and in 1907-08
was located in the premises of the
ex Monastery of Saint Lucy
adjacent to the public garden in
the historical centre. In 1923 it was
called “Giovanni Verga” in honour
of the Sicilian writer that the year
before in 1992 had passed away.
In 1990 it moved to its present
construction in the suburbs of the
town (Cappellone area). In 1995
the Liceo Scientifico “G. Petronio
Russo” was united to it.
Today the school has got two buildings with
910 students. The main building is located at
16 via Salvo D’Acquisto. Its profile is based
on three different courses that offer: classical
studies, scientific studies and linguistic
studies
