«The face of liberated Rome»: A tribute to history and freedom by Grade 9 students

As part of the 80 years of the liberation of Rome and Italy, our students had the honor to present a unique and inspiring project at the Palazzo Farnese, in the presence of the Ambassador and the Military Attaché. This project, entitled “The face of a liberated Rome”, embodies the memory and commitment of young generations to history, and resonates the voices and faces of a capital marked by its past but resolutely turned towards the future.

The result of a multidisciplinary work between history and art history, this project was built around a central theme: the liberation of Rome and the impact of this period on Italian society. As they researched, our students explored the defining events of the 1944 liberation and their repercussions, then interpreted them through a series of artistic works.

The presentation at the Palazzo Farnese provided a privileged opportunity for our students to share their vision and commitment with diplomatic and military personalities. Their work has been praised for its depth, historical rigor and artistic originality.
This project, beyond academic learning, is an invitation for each of our students to recognize the importance of historical memory and to take ownership of the duty of transmission. With “The face of a liberated Rome”, our students have expressed, through art and reflection, a vibrant tribute to freedom and those who have defended it.

Thank you to the students and the entire educational team for their investment and creativity, which is the pride of the Saint-Dominique International Institute in Rome.
