We would like to inform you that an educational trip to Padua has been organised for classes 2A/B on Thursday, 29 January 2026. The pupils will visit the Scrovegni Chapel, which they have already studied in art lessons and which is famous throughout the world for its extraordinary cycle of paintings by Giotto. This work is considered the artist’s greatest fresco masterpiece and bears witness to the profound revolution that the Tuscan painter brought to Western art. They will also visit the MUSME in Padua, an innovative and interdisciplinary museum that uses engaging and rigorous language to reveal the secrets of the human body and the evolution of medicine from an ancient discipline to a modern science.
Purpose of the educational trip
The educational trip aims to explore some of the topics studied in class through the direct observation of works of art and scientific content.
The visit to the Scrovegni Chapel will allow pupils to learn about Giotto’s work and understand the importance of this artist in the history of art. Furthermore, at the MUSME in Padua, they will be able to discover the human body and the evolution of medicine in a clear and engaging way.
The trip also promotes respect for cultural and scientific heritage and the active participation of pupils.
