Inauguration of new wing

On Friday 27 August 2021, the inauguration party for the new wing of the Papio College (including the new canteen) was held with great success in the presence of the authorities.

The institutional moment saw speeches by the Rector Don Patrizio Foletti, the Mayor of Ascona Luca Pissoglio, the President of the Fondazione Collegio Papio Filippo Lombardi, the State Councillor On. Raffele De Rosa and the Bishop H.E. Valerio Lazzeri.

The event was moderated by Maurizio Checchi, Vice Mayor of the Municipality of Ascona and President of the Associazione Amici del Collegio.

The project is the work ofthe Giraudi Radczuweit architectural studio, which focused on both the modernity of the forms and the practicality of the interior spaces . The building fits harmoniously and discreetly into the College's complex of old buildings.

The canteen, which was opened at the beginning of 2021, completes the school's offer: primary school pupils will also benefit from it and will be able to eat lunch at Papio.
