| The final year of all Italian High Schools 
| (18/19 years age students) ends with a 
| formal State Exam. Depending on which 
| category of school they attend, all 
| students are tested in a different group of 
| subjects and the final vote also depends on 
| personal projects prepared for each 
| subject. This year, among all the final 
| year students in Italy there are two who 
| are preparing a project that is as unusual 
| (at least for Italy) as interesting.
