On 7 October 2026, students from Collettivo Settimo occupied the Liceo Scientifico Tito Lucrezio Caro in Naples. The students involved include the Tito Lucrezio Caro collective and Coordinamento Kaos.
According to Il Mattino, the protest addresses the condition and safety of the school buildings and the use of public funds for school maintenance. A second Naples report describes the same core complaint as poor structural conditions and inadequate safety protections.
The occupation is not limited to the school building. The students also raise concerns about inclusion, discrimination and the treatment of foreign students in schools. On migration policy, they oppose the proposed construction of a CPR in Castel Volturno and a national plan for one repatriation detention centre in every region.
Why it is called “Settimo”
Readers unfamiliar with the school may be confused by the name Collettivo Settimo. The school’s official history identifies the institution as the Liceo Scientifico Statale Tito Lucrezio Caro, formerly the VII Liceo Scientifico, or “Settimo”. Its current site is on via Manzoni in Posillipo, Naples.
That history helps explain the naming used in the protest reports: “Settimo” refers to the school’s former name, while Tito Lucrezio Caro is its current name.
A recurring form of protest
Independent reporting confirms that the Settimo school was involved in a student occupation sequence in Naples in October 2025, alongside the Liceo Umberto, ahead of a planned demonstration.
The available 2025 reports corroborate the school and the broader protest context, but they do not independently verify every detail of the 2026 occupation reported by Il Mattino. The retrieved sources do not establish how long the 2026 occupation lasted or whether classes and school services were disrupted.
What remains unverified
The sources report the students’ allegations and political positions. They do not independently verify the condition of the building, the funding claims, or the legal status of the proposed CPR in Castel Volturno.
No independently verified canonical social-media URL was retrieved for the Collettivo Settimo post cited in the coverage. The facts above reflect what the named Naples publications reported, not an independent assessment of the building, the budget dispute, or the detention-centre proposal.
