A. Rizza Institute relocates from historic Syracuse headquarters

The A. Rizza Institute has officially moved from its historic location on via Armando Diaz to new premises at via Modica 66 in Syracuse. This relocation follows a December 2025 resolution by the Libero Consorzio Comunale di Siracusa aimed at rationalizing school spaces and reducing costs amidst ongoing economic difficulties.

The move marks the end of a century-long chapter for the institution at its former site. While the new facility offers modern laboratories and better public transport connections, the relocation has raised questions regarding the social and cultural impact on the local community and the preservation of the school's historical identity.
