History
editThe first educational institution, which was the ancestor of today's high school was a religious seminary, and precisely the archiepiscopal seminary, which began its activity in 1857 thanks to the bishop of the diocese of Altamura and Acquaviva. A few years later, a technical school was established in Altamura,[2] while in March 1880, it became a high school and it was named after Luca Cagnazzi de Samuele.[2] It became a Regio Liceo Ginnasio with a decree enacted on 27 July 1908.[1]
Location
editBefore the school was established, the seat of the school was a convent of Dominican friars.
Collection of scientific instruments
editThe high school stores a valuable collection of ancient scientific instruments, some of which date back to the period of activity of the University of Altamura (1747-1812) and probably some of them are likely to date back to the 18th century.[3][2]
Activity
editSince 1994 the school organizes every year an international contest of classical theater and this event takes place in partnership with the ancient city theater Teatro Mercadante, which has been recently reopened.[4][5]
