Reference work entryPart of thebook series (GES) AbstractFrom the fall of the Roman Empire to its unification in 1861, Italy was fragmented into numerous smaller states; there was no compulsory schooling, and education was regulated by the Catholic Church. The first state-run schools provided free of charge were introduced in the Kingdom of Sicily in 1778.
With the unification of Italy, the notion of a general, state-run education system – initially formulated in the Casati law of 1859 and originally intended for the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia – was extended to all other regions and laid the foundations for the school system of present-day Italy (Allemann-Ghionda 1999; Brinkmann 1995). As Italy’s first minister of education, Casati first introduced compulsory schooling covering 2 years which gained significance in the light of the prevailing illiteracy rate of 75%. Scuola elementare preceded secondary school, which was divided into two elements: traditional secondary schools comprised a first stage of 5 years’ duration ( ginnasio) and a second of 3 years’ duration ( liceo classico); and technical-scientific secondary schools consisting of 2- to 3-year stages, the technical school ( scuola tecnica) and the technical institute ( istituto tecnico). In addition, there was the 2-year scuola normale at which primary school teachers were trained.
