The student protest spreading through Naples has widened to include two more schools: the Liceo "L.B. Alberti" and the ISIS "E. De Nicola," according to reporting by Il Mattino.
The development is part of a broader wave of occupations and stoppages reported across the city, with students organizing assemblies and activities around school conditions and wider social issues.
What happened at the Alberti in Via Pigna
At the Alberti in Via Pigna, several dozen students attempted to occupy the school, according to reports from Corriere del Mezzogiorno Napoli and la Repubblica Napoli.
The protest was interrupted by the Carabinieri. Officers identified some of the participants and seized protest-related items, including a banner, a chain and Guy Fawkes masks. Some participants were reported to have covered their faces with masks or neck warmers.
Whether the Alberti action was completed after the intervention or remained an unsuccessful attempt is not clear from the available reporting.
unfinished works at the center of the Alberti dispute
Reporting links the Alberti protest to unfinished infrastructure or renovation works attributed to the Metropolitan City.
Students cited unfinished works at the school as a central grievance, while the available page text does not reproduce their full statement, so the complete wording of their platform cannot be verified.
The De Nicola in Vomero
The other school named in the reported expansion is the Enrico De Nicola institute on Via E.A. Mario, in the Vomero area.
Related reporting by Il Mattino describes a stop to lessons at the institute as occupations spread across Naples. No independent second source was acquired to corroborate the occupation status at De Nicola, so its exact situation remains reported rather than independently confirmed.
Why students say they are protesting
Student motivations described in the reporting go beyond individual schools.
They include opposition to CPRs, concern about unsafe or inadequate school buildings — including lack of heating and spaces for social activities — and discussion of broader social issues such as racism and integration.
A related Il Mattino report describes student activities during the occupations focused on racism, integration and social issues, with students asking to be heard.
What is not yet confirmed
The reports describe a wider wave of actions but do not provide one independently verified, complete list of affected schools.
For readers following the situation, two points remain open: the final outcome at the Alberti after police intervention, and the exact status of lessons and occupation at De Nicola. The full student communique referenced in the primary report was also not reproduced in the acquired reporting, limiting verification of the students' full demands.
