Istituto Champagnat Istituto San Giuseppe Scuola Media Parificata Principe Umberto History of Istituto Champagnat, Istituto San Giuseppe, and Scuola Media Parificata Principe Umberto

The Istituto San Giuseppe was founded by Marist Brothers in 1904 in Genoa, Italy. In 1940 it became Istituto Champagnat, a primary, secondary, and high school school for boys.

It is believed that the items labeled Istituto San Giuseppe are from the Istituto S. Giuseppe Per Fanciulle Derelitte (Orphanage for Girls) in Genoa, but it is unclear as there are more than 1 Istituto S. Giuseppe in Genoa.

The Scuola Media Parificata Principe Umberto was also established by Marist Brothers. It is located in Naples, Italy.

Scope and Contents

The collection contains mixed media scrapbooks with transcribed handwritten essays and annotations on Marian topics including Italian sanctuaries, Marian devotion, the rosary, Marian parishes in Italy, the life of Mary, and related topics. The scrapbooks, made by Italian primary school students in 1952 and 1953, are comprised of cut out images, collages, hand drawn illustrations, original artwork, colored print images, handwritten essays and transcribed writings, and calligraphic headings. The scrapbooks appear to be created as part of the school curriculum in order to study the Blessed Virgin Mary.
