With the demolition of the old building completed, construction work began today on the new headquarters of the "Massimo Troisi" Comprehensive Institute in Pianura. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Mayor Gaetano Manfredi, Councilor for Education and Families Maura Striano, and President Andrea Saggiomo, along with several councilors and advisors from Municipality 9. The project is funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) as part of the "Scuola Futura" project.
The Municipality of Naples is among the winners of the competition promoted by the Ministry of Education for the design and construction of 212 innovative, sustainable, safe, and inclusive schools throughout Italy, selected from 1.737 submitted projects. The cost of demolition and reconstruction of the comprehensive school is €4,5 million, and completion is scheduled for March 2026.
Naples does not stop at just “Troisi” InstituteThe city is involved in 27 other school construction projects funded by the National Plan for Regional Development (PNRR). However, the Troisi construction site was recently the scene of a news event involving several gunshots, raising safety concerns.
The school complex that will be built will be highly seismic-safe, energy-efficient, and will offer innovative solutions for children and the community. It is a major investment by the city of Naples in an important area. This school will be crucial for the future of our children., explained Mayor Manfredi.
The work is scheduled for completion in early 2026. We are closely monitoring, along with the Prefecture and law enforcement, the many construction sites opening up in our city. The company has signed an anti-racketeering agreement, and special monitoring is in place because legality is a priority. All the work being done in the city will be monitored, and this is a source of pride for Naples: we must do things, do them well, and in full compliance with the law.
Councilor Striano added: This Pianura school will be innovative and energy self-sufficient, but above all, it will be an integral part of the local area, with a playground, an arena, and spaces that will foster meaningful educational relationships. The project has been recognized as one of the most innovative in Italy. We currently have numerous school building projects underway, both with demolition and reconstruction projects like this one, and with redevelopment projects involving schools, gyms, daycare centers, and preschools.
