This project enables us to monitor the actual situation and tofind possible weak points in the system and overcome them.

Our school is named after Giovanni Giorgi, an Italian scientist and engineer born in 1871.Giorgi is famous for the introduction of the fourth unit of measurement based on Electricity: the ampere.The new system, called MKSA (or Giorgi System) was recognized by the International Electronic Commission in1935.
