The bond between “La Carovana” School of Modena and Enzo dates back to the very beginnings of this adventure; it was 1979 when some parents and teachers were encouraged by Enzo himself to form a cooperative to “play” the Christian ideal they had encountered in managing a nursery and primary school. They started in premises made available by a religious order outside Modena, to then move into the city, but always renting. This bond has always remained alive even after Enzo’s death, when the opportunity arose for the Cooperative to build a new building. In fact, the newly born Foundation played a decisive role in that transition, purchasing the land and granting the surface rights to the Cooperative for thirty years. The building, inaugurated in 2005, is located in via Enzo Piccinini.<\/p>\n

Over the last twenty years, the school has experienced constant growth, doubling the number of its students. To make room for the continuous enrollment requests, the structure has had to progressively sacrifice common areas, transforming laboratories, offices, and special classrooms into standard classrooms. The Cooperative therefore decides to take another step in its now fifty-year adventure: an expansion intervention is needed, but not to further increase the number of enrolled students nor to create new classes, but rather to \u00abgive ourselves more space to broaden our horizons\u00bb. In an era marked by rapid transformations, social uncertainties, and a widespread sense of educational fragility, deciding to invest in the school is a gesture of profound trust in the future. An important investment to put the pedagogical value of space and relationships back at the center: returning spaces dedicated to laboratories and teachers’ work means creating the ideal conditions so that the educational encounter can express itself in all its richness and innovation.<\/p>\n

Also in this new passage of its history, the school finds Enzo by its side: the Foundation decides to support this important investment by extending the surface right until 2053, which would have expired in 2033.<\/p>\n\n
