What is the Convitto?

The Convitto Nazionale 'Paolo Diacono' is a unique educational institution which strives to provide exemplary education for both residential and semi-residential students. Our commitment to our students is two-fold: initially to allow students to reach for academic excellence, and secondly to present a holistic education that includes a vibrant co-curricular program, along with opportunities for student leadership and spiritual growth. From dietary needs to medical care, to recreational activities, total care and support is an essential part of boarding at the Convitto.

The Convitto Nazionale 'Paolo Diacono' is set in the heart of Cividale del Friuli, in the province of Udine, which is in the uppermost eastern corner of Italy. The area has significant historical and cultural importance.
