Camerino, September 16, 2025 – Yesterday, September 15, the very first school bell rang at the brand-new “Ugo Betti” School Complex in Camerino. Starting this year, the school welcomes children and young people into a modern, safe, and future-ready facility, built thanks to the joint efforts of the Commissioner for Reconstruction Guido Castelli, the Marche Region, the Municipality of Camerino, and the Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF).
On this crucial opening day, classrooms came alive with voices, energy, and smiles as students stepped through the doors of the new building, marking the beginning of an educational journey designed to foster innovation, creativity, and well-being.
Alongside Mayor Roberto Lucarelli to welcome the students were Veronica Berti Bocelli, ABF Vice-Chair, and Laura Biancalani, ABF CEO. They greeted the school community, offering their support and encouragement to students, teachers, and families, and wished everyone a year filled with discovery, growth, and new opportunities.
Adding to the joy of the occasion, magician and ABF Advocate Andrea Paris delighted the audience with an exceptional performance that brought wonder and laughter to both students and teachers.
The new “Betti” Complex represents a milestone of rebirth for Camerino, one of the areas most severely affected by the 2016 earthquake. Officially unveiled on May 30, the facility houses:
- 2 preschool classes,
- 11 elementary school classes, and
- 8 middle school classes.
