Il Collegio is a popular Italian historical reality show that has aired on Rai Gulp since January 2017.

The students must follow a strict dress code and give up their phones and electronics during the month, and inappropriate haircuts, any kind of piercings and foul language are all forbidden.

Classes are given in Italian, Latin, history, geography, mathematics, biology, a foreign language (French in the second season, English in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth), civics and art.

The fourth season is set in 1982, the year in which Italy won the FIFA World Cup, and aired from 22 October 2019 to 26 November 2019 for six episodes, featuring computer science, aerobics and breakdancing as non-exam activities.

In this edition, the school where the show has been registered is the Convitto Nazionale Regina Margherita in Anagni in the Province of Frosinone, due to heavy COVID-19 pandemic spread in Lombardy.

1992 has been one of the darkest years of Italian history, due to the killings of judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino by the Sicilian Mafia; and the political corruption scandal known as Tangentopoli (Bribesville) for which there was the consequent national judicial investigation known as Mani pulite (Clean Hands), which discovered various instances of corruption and briberies within the Italian politics.

The school the series takes place in is the Collegio San Carlo di Celana, a suburb of Caprino Bergamasco.
