Scuola Secondaria di I grado "Mastro Giorgio - Nelli" is in Gubbio, a beautiful mediaeval town in the north of the region Umbria, in the centre of Italy. The town is very large but it has only 32.000 inhabitants.  Gubbio has got lots of ancient churches, palaces, monuments and buildings. There are lots of old traditions and festivities, in particular the "Ceri Feast" (Festa dei Ceri) on 15th May, and the highest "Christmas Tree" in the world. Its economy is based on agriculture, artisanship, small and middle industries and tourism. The families take care of their children and generally participate to their school life; most of them belong to the middle class. The economic crisis is involving even our families but till now the problems seem to be quite limited. There are some immigrants from Albany, East Europe, South America, China and North Africa. Not all of them are well integrated but the volunteer associations and the teachers at school work hard to support and improve their integration.
