The Ennio Quirino Visconti Liceo Ginnasio ("Ennio Quirino Visconti LyceumGymnasium") is the oldest and most prestigious liceo classico in Rome, also known as Roman College due to its previous historical role.

History[]

The liceo was set up shortly after the Capture of Rome in 1871 in the building that had housed the Jesuit Roman College.[1] It was dedicated to the famous Roman archaeologist Ennio Quirino Visconti, who had supported the Francophile Roman Republic at the end of the 18th century.
