The construction of this monumental
building was started by Dominicans in 1561.
Closed in 1783 by the duke Ercole III, the convent became the seat the college guided by
Scolopi who moved their schools to the current location of the municipal building.
In addition to public schools opened to
outsiders, there was also the college that gave
the opportunity to attend every kind of school.
The building was expanded with two new
wings for the Hall of the Academy, the refectory, dormitories, the chapel and the main
staircase.
In 1810 it was closed due to the suppression of the religious corporations.
But in
1819 Oblates arrived and until 1840 they converted it into a seminary leaving open the
public school.
Removed the Oblates, in 1844 the collegeseminary was reopened and in 1861 it became
a civic college.
In 1869 it was finally secularized, taken by
the Municipality and dedicated to “Antonio Allegri”.
In 1888 it was converted into Convitto
Nazionale with the name “Rinaldo Corso”.
