Certamen Ciceronianum Arpinas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Certamen Ciceronianum Arpinas is an international Latin competition for high school seniors which is organised annually in Cicero's birthplace Arpino, situated in southern Lazio.

The event, which is conducted under the tutelage of the Italian president, lasts three days, starting with the traditional commencement ceremony on the second Friday of March, and is organised by the Centro Studi Umanistici Marco Tullio Cicerone. The test takes place in the buildings of the Liceo-Ginnasio Tulliano. High school seniors studying classics from all over Europe are free to participate, provided that they pay an inscription fee (although many high schools provide waivers and several governments send students who did well in national championships free of charge).
