In May she resigned and returned home, but then a new hospitalization in early June made it necessary to urgently activate the procedure for the state exam outside the office.
«The maturity, in addition to being a highly symbolic moment as a life passage, is also an official public act that requires a rigorous formal performance. Thanks to the collaboration between our school, the Lazio school office, the management of Rizzoli and the examination commission of the school of origin – says Antonella De Tommasi, coordinator of the Rizzoli hospital school – we managed to organize all the steps necessary to guarantee Giulia the possibility of taking her exam even if hospitalized, and we are really happy about this.”
How the exam was conducted
The written tests arrived via certified email to the hospital management, with identical deadlines to those at the Italian schools. Giulia carried them out sitting in bed, isolated by a screen, in the presence of the coordinator professor and teachers from the Scappi Institute with delegation from the examination commission established in her school.
