Istituto Tecnico Industriale Galileo Galilei

What Istituto Tecnico Industriale Galileo Galilei does

Istituto Statale d'Istruzione Superiore (I.S.I.S.) "Galilei" — historically comprising the Istituto Tecnico Industriale "G. Galilei", Istituto Commerciale "E. Fermi", and Istituto Tecnico per Geometri "N. Pacassi" — is a public Italian secondary school located at via Puccini 22, Gorizia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Formed in 1999 from the merger of three Gorizia schools whose origins date to 1936, the institution serves 783 students aged 14–19 across five-year technical diploma programs in two macro-sectors: Technological (Informatics and Telecommunications, Electronics, Electrotechnics, Mechanics/Mechatronics/Energy, Graphics and Communication, Construction/Environment/Territory) and Economic (Administration/Finance/Marketing, Business Information Systems). The school is led by Dirigente Scolastico Dott. Alessandro Puzzi with 128 teachers and 33 administrative/technical (ATA) staff, supported by 16 laboratories, 12 special classrooms, and an 18,000-volume catalogued library.

The institution's core technology asset is the proprietary Isitgoonair 4-in-1 digital learning ecosystem — combining a webradio (launched 2007), a webTV, an ATutor-based e-learning platform branded "Teach", and a closed Edmodo social network — supplemented by the M_Learning mobile-learning module, an ePortfolio digital student-work repository, Google Workspace for Education (migrated to @isisgo.it), the Spaggiari electronic register, an ICDL Test Center, and PNRR-funded VR/AR and robotics laboratories plus Next Generation Classrooms. These platforms support differentiated learning, work-linked training (PCTO) with local businesses, and 18 active school projects including international language programs and digital-transition training for staff.

As an Italian state school (Istituto Statale), the institution charges no tuition and is funded entirely by the Italian Ministry of Education (Ministero dell'Istruzione e del Merito) through national education budgets, supplemented by an EU Next Generation PNRR grant for Scuola 4.0 lab modernization. The go-to-market model is event-driven: prospective students are recruited through Scuola Aperta open-house events, morning-stage internships, afternoon laboratory activities (CAT Experience, GEC Factory, Officina digitale, ElettroLab, Business & Law), and the national UNICA enrollment platform. The institution is operationally merging with Istituto "Cossar-da Vinci" on 1 September 2025 to form I.S.I.S. "Galilei-Cossar" — effectively doubling institutional scope — and is adopting a 5-day school week from academic year 2026/2027.
