What Liceo Scientifico Leonardo da Vinci di Firenze does

Liceo Scientifico Leonardo da Vinci di Firenze is a publicly funded Italian state upper-secondary school (Liceo Scientifico Statale) located at Via Giovanni de' Marignolli, 1 in Florence. Founded in 1923 and celebrating its centenary in 2023, the school delivers the standard Italian liceo scientifico curriculum through two specialized tracks — the Ordinary Scientific Track and the Applied Sciences Track — to secondary-school students typically aged 14–19, alongside their families and teaching staff. The institution is administered under the Italian Ministry of Education (Ministero dell'Istruzione e del Merito), with Annalisa Savino serving as Dirigente Scolastica (Principal) since at least February 2024.

The school's service portfolio extends beyond mandated academic instruction to an extensive extracurricular program that functions as its product surface: LeonLab (theater productions staged at Teatro di Rifredi), Radio Tamarindo (student podcasting distributed via Spotify and YouTube), the LDV Centro Sportivo Scolastico, the LDV Music Center, informatics competitions, Erasmus+ international mobility, and a 90-hour PCTO/FSL work-orientation track. The institution also curates the Museo/Collezione Scientifica Leonardo da Vinci, a scientific museum with physics and science exhibits. The digital infrastructure is built on WordPress with the Designers Italia template (compliant with D.Lgs 10 agosto 2018 n. 106 accessibility requirements), the Argo electronic register (Scuolanext/Didap) for grades, attendance and parent communications, the Albo Online administrative notice board, Argo MAD for staffing applications, and a reserved aPOF platform for managing the Piano Triennale dell'Offerta Formativa.

Tuition is free under the Italian public education system; the school may request voluntary contributions for specific activities. Enrollment is processed through the Ministry of Education's centralized Iscrizioni On Line portal, with the institution serving the Florence metropolitan area and surrounding Tuscan provinces from its single campus. Marketing and outreach rely on the institutional website, an active social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram), recurring Open Days and Saturday open visits, and participation in regional orientation initiatives. The school operates under the leadership of its Dirigente Scolastica with approximately 30 listed personnel on the source records, and is currently led by Annalisa Savino.
