Collegio Tolomei, Siena

The Collegio Tolomei is a high school adjacent to Sant'Agostino and Piazza dell'Erbe in Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy.

It was founded in 1676 with an endowment by Celso Tolomei, of a prominent and ancient Sienese family.

The school was then run as a seminary by the Jesuits and targeted youth from the noble families in Siena.

In 1893, it was returned to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Education under the name of Convitto Nazionale, which it still conserves.

[1] The portico and entrance staircase were designed by Agostino Fantastici in the 19th century.
