And now some news about our town Marigliano

Marigliano is an ancient town and counts 30,000 inhabitants most of whom were born right here. Just in the last few years, immigrants from Eastern Europe and Africa have started to settle down in the cities and its surroundings to find a job and a better quality of life.

The town, situated at 30 meters on the sea level, has an area of 22,3 square Kms; it is served by the local railway station Circumvesuviana and a bus line connecting Marigliano to Naples in about 30 minutes.A further bus service is also available for the citizens to go from one place to another of the city and to the surrounding areas: therefore Marigliano is not so small.
Neither it is far away from the the most interesting and famous tourist sites of the region Campania. Actually in less than one hour by car ( not more than 30 miles) you could reach Capri, Sorrento, Pompei, Amalfi, Positano, Caserta or Ischia….., all sites famous all over the world for their natural, art and historical beauties.

Marigliano is situated not far from Naples, about 14 miles from its city centre and 12 miles from the airport of Capodichino. Neither the capital, Rome, is so far, only 120 miles away and it takes just two hours and half by coach,two by car or only one and forty by the train Eurostar.


LICEO SCIENTIFICO E SOCIO-PSICO-PEDAGOGICO
CRISTOFORO COLOMBO
MARIGLIANO (NA)
ITALY



The school is situated in the centre of Marigliano and welcomes students coming from many towns in the surroundings.
It is a modern building, with wide, brightened and functional rooms. There are thirty-eight classrooms, six laboratories, an amphitheatre for meetings, a gym, several offices, a sports yard and a car park.
The school gives extraordinary opportunities to students who come from different social classes, with a prevailing amount of middle class. They receive a very good education which puts them in the condition to succeed in many fields.
Students at our school can choose between two different courses for their curriculum: in a scientific course or a socio-psycho-pedagogical one. The former provides a serious scientific education with subjects such as: Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Astronomy, together with Latin, Italian English, Art, Philosophy and History; the latter provides a formation in the field of Pedagogy and Sociology for future primary school teachers. In this course, besides Italian, Latin, English and Philosophy, they study Psychology, Legal studies, Drawing and Natural Sciences. Anyway the favorite subject of both courses is Physical Education: the only one that gives us a moment of relax as our curriculum is very hard. Our Lyceum , in fact, is Known as one of the best and most serious schools of the province and it provides all the chances to get ahead at University.
We hope to meet you soon and show our resources and our legendary sense of hospitality.
In the meanwhile we will go on with our work in the project that has made possible to get into contact with your culture.
Greetings from Liceo Colombo of Marigliano.
