The
liceo
was set up shortly after the
Capture of Rome
in 1871 in the building that had housed the
Jesuit
Roman College
.

It was dedicated to the famous Roman archaeologist
Ennio Quirino Visconti
, who had supported the Francophile
Roman Republic
at the end of the 18th century.
In 1938, science teacher Maria Piazza was forced to leave her teaching position and 58 Jewish students were expelled under the racial laws imposed by the fascist regime. A commemorative plaque installed in 2019 recalls the victims of state anti-Semitism.
