Italian school reunions reunite alumni after 24‑40 years
Former students of three Italian schools gathered for milestone reunions. In Termini Imerese, alumni of the 3ᵃ class of Liceo classico “Gregorio Ugdulena” marked 40 years since their 1986 graduation with a dinner, 1980s music, jokes and a commemorative cake. The event featured a nostalgic roll‑call of former classmates and heartfelt tributes to those who have passed.
In Marsala, the 5ᵈ class of the Liceo socio‑psico‑pedagogico reunited after 24 years, bringing together former pupils and several of their teachers. Attendees recalled their expectations as students and shared how their lives have unfolded, describing the evening as a “journey back in time.”
Separately, the novel “Il patto diabolico dei convitati,” slated for the 2026 Premio Strega, imagines a pact among 30 ex‑students of the Milan Liceo‑ginnasio Berchet. The fictional agreement obliges the group to meet annually, each contributing a sum to a common fund overseen by Lorenzo Rivadeneyra, which will ultimately be inherited by the last three survivors.
