STORY 01
Listen to the guide
The Scuole Pie complex stands in Brindisi's historic centre, beside the church of San Michele Arcangelo.
The Piarist fathers began teaching here in 1664; today the complex also hosts cultural activities of the Accademia degli Erranti.
STORY 02
Listen to the guide
A 2023 proposal shows an information point, a tactile route and workshops for costumes, sewing, three-dimensional printing, video, ceramics and carpentry.
It also envisages an outdoor performance space: this is a project diagram, not a list of rooms currently open.

STORY 04
Listen to the guide
A 2026 project programme proposes twelve meetings to create four short scenes about the road, the harbour, the inhabited city and archaeological traces.
Characters and dialogue are narrative reconstructions: sources should remain identifiable, and children's participation does not automatically mean filming or publishing their images.
