The 76th edition of Militalia will dedicate a thematic exhibition to the Teulié Military School in Milan and the history of the Armed Forces’ training institutes.

Specifically, documents, objects and uniforms relating to the Milanese educational institution will be on display in the centre of Pavilion C, retracing all the main stages since its foundation.

The school is dedicated to General Pietro Teulié, who, as Minister of War during the transition from the Cisalpine Republic to the Napoleonic Italian Republic, worked to establish a military orphanage in the school’s current location in Milan, on Corso Italia.

Founded on 15 January 1802, the school is the oldest Napoleonic institution still in existence.

Despite the very long period since its creation, about 200 years, due to a series of events, including closures and reopenings, its activity lasted for a total of about sixty years.

In the midst of the Napoleonic period, the intentions of Teulié, who had meanwhile resigned from his position as Minister, were nevertheless gradually realised, combining the care of invalids, veterans and orphans with the hospitality of the children of serving military personnel.
