The history of the ICS
The new school
The "Istituto Comprensivo of Porlezza" (ICS Porlezza) was born on 1 September 2000 as a result of the union of the Middle School "G. Della Porta" Porlezza with the Primary and Nursery School of Carlazzo.
This form of vertical integration has allowed to test models of organizational and didactic autonomy, creating a new design.
They are part of the Comprehensive educational institutions as follows:
Nursery School (schools of Piano and S.Bartolomeo)
Primary School (schools of S.Pietro, S.Bartolomeo and Carlazzo)
Secondary School (headquarters of Porlezza and section of S. Bartolomeo)

Guglielmo della Porta
He was an Italian architect and sculptor of the late-Renaissance or Mannerist period.
He was born to a prominent North Italian family of masons, sculptors and architects. His father Giovanni Battista della Porta was a sculptor. He trained in his uncle's workshop in Genoa and moved to Rome about 1537, where he was very much influenced by Michelangelo. Della Porta provided legs for the Farnese Hercules when it was first excavated; when the original legs were found some years later, Michelangelo recommended that Della Porta's legs be retained, as showing how modern artists were capable of direct comparison with the Ancients. He was appointed to the papal mint in 1547. His prolific output is varied.
Major works:
