Today, thanks to gradual reforms, our school provides a complete educational curriculum, besides vocational skills. The I.P.S.I.A. “Galileo Galilei” has been in this new building since 1972. The school counts approx. 500 students, all of them boys, even if it is not a boys’ school. There is a detached branch in the small town of Campofranco, in the province of Caltanissetta.
