Maturity Celebration
The traditional Maturity Celebration took place on Friday 24 May 2024. Once again this year, the premises of the German Academy Villa Massimo worthily hosted this important occasion. The words of welcome by President Riccardo Coletta and Director Friedrich Lingenhag were followed by the keynote address by the Ambassador of Switzerland to Italy, Monika Schmutz Kirgöz, and the speech by Daniel Schönenberger, Councillor of the Department of Education of Canton St. Gallen, our patronage canton. The class teacher, Yvette Manigold, presented the Matura report cards to the sixteen students, while the Caravita Prize for the best Matura work, which has now become a tradition, was presented to the winner by Andrea Caravita. Our music teacher Pamela Placitelli and other musicians musically accompanied the ceremony and the subsequent aperitif in the garden.
