Italian students celebrate pre‑exam night events across cities

In Catanzaro, hundreds of high‑school seniors gathered in front of their schools for the traditional "Notte prima degli esami" celebration. The evening featured group singing of Antonello Venditti’s song, photo sessions and speeches aimed at easing exam anxiety before the first written test of the state exam.

Meanwhile, the Liceo Carlo Porta in Monza hosted a gala night for its graduating class. The event, attended by students, teachers, families and local sponsors, included a red‑carpet entrance, a professional photo shoot, live music, and remarks from the school director and institute council president. Both gatherings were designed to mark the transition from secondary education to the national Maturità exams and to strengthen community spirit among the students.
