The Civico Liceo Linguistico Alessandro Manzoni is a charter high school in Milan, Italy, founded in 1861 and named after poet and author Alessandro Manzoni in 1886. Initially an all girls' school, it began accepting boys in 1978.
Pupils are accepted by the school through examinations. These exams usually take place in December of the students' last year of middle school. In 2011, La Repubblica reported a record 1,100 applicants for the 250 available places (with the possibility that the government might require a reduction to 220).[1] In 2013, the Corriere della Sera reported that there were six applicants for each place at the school.[2]
