Parents' representatives at the De Amicis-Leonardo da Vinci-Giannone comprehensive institute planned a sit-in at Caserta's municipal offices on a Friday morning to press for repairs to school buildings.
According to reporting by Il Mattino, the protest was announced after what the school described as several certified-email reports sent to the municipality beginning in May about faults and malfunctions.
What parents asked the city to fix
The reported requests covered basic maintenance across the institute's buildings, including:
- water systems and boilers
- damaged plaster and walls affected by damp
- bathrooms
- windows
- broken tiles
- gyms described as unusable
The parents' representatives sought clarification from Caserta's extraordinary commissioners about when the municipality would address the reported problems.
Wider maintenance backlog
Earlier reporting by the same outlet described similar unresolved maintenance and safety problems in several municipal school buildings in Caserta, including damaged floors and tiles, broken fixtures, mould and leaks.
That earlier coverage also pointed to two continuing problems: the Leonardo da Vinci gym was closed, while construction work at the Giannone middle school remained suspended.
The suspended Giannone work was associated with a shortage of classrooms, including the temporary transfer of three classes to the Leonardo da Vinci school.
What is not yet confirmed
It is not established from the material available whether the planned sit-in actually took place. The reporting reviewed does not provide a confirmed response or repair timetable from the extraordinary commissioners, and the current condition of each listed facility has not been independently verified by an official technical inspection.
