HISTORY and CITY MONUMENTS

The civilisation of Varese began in the 5th millennium but it had the real identity of free municipality only under the Duke Francesco III d’Este (1780).

ESTENCE PALACE is the most important national monument, the summer-autumn residence of the Duke. Behind the Palace there are the “ESTENSI GARDENS, one of the most enchanting public parks in Italy.”

The HOLY MOUNTAIN (883mt) is one of the Prealpi rises, on the North of Varese; it’s a place of Marian faith and worship and a property of UNESCO.

Our SchoolThe ISIS EDITH STEIN


A short introductionOur school has been named “Edith Stein” in memory of a jewish

converted catholic nun, who had once received the doctorate in philosophy and became a member of faculty in Freiburg. She was gassed in the concentration camp of Auschwitz on August 1942, during the Second World War.

The acronym ISIS stands for “Istituto di Istruzione Superiore”, that means “Institute of Higher Education”.

The “Vitruvian Man”, a drawing made by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1490, is the school logo. Can you recognise it in the background?


A short introductionThe ISIS of Gavirate derives from the union of the High School (Liceo Scientifico)

with the Technical and Commercial Institute (Istituto Tecnico Commerciale per Geometri e Periti aziendali) and Correspondents in Foreign Languages , starting from school year 1999-2000.

To these courses two additional curricula of Professional Institute have been added: the Professional Institute of Commerce and the Professional Institute for Social Services.

In the school year 2005-2006 the Classic High School (Liceo Classico) has opened becoming a part of the Institute.

All courses are housed in a single building, equipped with all necessary structures to effectively develop the educational activities: classrooms, gymnasiums, laboratories, library, bar.
