The Galileo Galilei Institute was founded in 1938 as “Istituto Tecnico Industriale per l’Ottica”, that is “High Technical and Industrial Institute for Optics” the sole example of a school totally devoted to the development of Optics over the Italian territory.
It was in 1966 that the school was located in the present premises, Via Paravia, 31, near the Football Stadium G. Meazza (San Siro area). In the following decades, the Institute could extend its educational offer to other specialized areas, producing high skilled students like Electrotechnology, later developed into Ambra Electrotechnology, Fine Mechanics, later changed into Mechanics: Graphic Arts and Communication.
2010 new guidelines for the Technical and Professional Education provided for the technical institutes to reorganize in order to better take up the challenges of an overall changing world. So, the Galileo Galilei Institute re-ordered the various curricula towards learning as a means of encouraging and stimulating the best possible progress and the highest attainment for all students.
In 2013, the Institute merged with the Rosa Luxemburg Institute, located in Via Degli Ulivi, 6, thus enriching and broadening the range of activities and skills required at the end of the 5-year high school course. Both institutes can boast skilled educational targets that contribute to the ranking of the Institute among the first positions at national level.
The present curriculum areas of the Galileo Galilei Institute are:
Graphics and Communication
Electronics
Graphic Arts
Mechanics and Mechatronics
Optics
Photography
Multimedia Graphics
Advertising Graphics
Our School utilizes a variety of large scientific and technical laboratories with an up-to-date equipment as well as multimedia computing rooms used in the classes.
