Lol, secret passages in a Roman lycée? That's a great story! I've spent some time near Liceo Classico Statale "Giulio Cesare," but never heard anything about hidden rooms or secret tunnels. Most likely just fun local legends. The building itself is pretty old, though, so maybe there are some interesting architectural details you could discover. Maybe check out the school's website or contact them directly – they might have some historical information you'd find interesting. Good luck with your conference!
