History※

A naval boarding school was established on the island of S. Elena in Venice in 1937. And it was named Italian Lictor Youth Naval College ("Collegio Navale della GioventĂą Italiana del Littorio"). It aimed to encourage young men to engage in activities related to the sea and to prepare them to enroll in the Regia Marina. In 1945, after Italy's defeat in World War II the School was closed. In 1961, the boarding school opened again and it was named after doge Francesco Morosini. It allowed boys to attend here the last three years of high school. In 1998, the School obtained military status and it was therefore renamed "Scuola navale militare Francesco Morosini". In 2009, "girls were allowed to attend the School." The goal of the school is to nurture an interest in seafaring careers. Director Stefano Alleva created an eleven episode film series about life at the school. Many foreign dignitaries visit the school, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 1980.

The school is contained on the southeastern quarter of the island of S. Elena, encompassing 47,000 square meters.
