The "Collegio Romano" (Roman College), house of the high school where my daughter is attending her last year before the university (and the four preceding, of course!) Been there since MDLXXXIII (1583), and always a school.
At least, this is centered...
Looks like, effectively! More prosaically, it is the heraldic crest of the Roman noble family Boncompagni. The building was realized by will of Pope Gregory XIII, who belonged to that family.
I think one could safely say that it is a well established school. I trust that your daughter is getting a good education there. Lets hope it doesn't become a block of apartments before long.
@overalvandaan Indeed... @photohoot Thank you so much! Will do, some time. @helenhall Oh well, I hope so (for the education) and not (for the transformation... actually, one wing of the building is reserved for offices of the Ministry for Culture, it would be quite contradictory! @vignouse We're happy about Greta's education. She's a very good student, however :-)
