History

In 1679, the Jesuits had opened College of Nobles in Turin. The building was designed by Guarino Guarini, who conceived a building with three equally ornate levels. Today this building houses Museo Egizio.[1]

Currently the Jesuit Education Foundation oversees this among six Italian colleges and one in Albania.[2]
