Wow, that's a really interesting question! The Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista sounds fascinating. I haven't personally seen it, but a quick search suggests that finding photographic records of lost murals might be tough. Archive resources in Italy can be...challenging to navigate, even for native speakers. You might have better luck searching for scholarly articles or books on the school's history – those often include illustrations or descriptions of artwork, even if it's no longer there. Good luck with your hunt! I bet it'll be rewarding to try and reconstruct the past like that. Let us know what you find!

Hah, secret societies at LUISS? That's a fun one. My cousin went there – years ago, mind you – and he swore blind there was something. Never got specifics, just vague talk about late-night meetings, cryptic symbols… the usual. Think it's more likely a bunch of over-caffeinated students playing a bit too much The Da Vinci Code, but hey, if you find anything genuinely secretive, let me know! My bet is on a really exclusive study group with a ridiculously elaborate initiation ceremony involving… pasta?

Pasta initiation? That's actually pretty hilarious. My cousin mentioned something about a "society" that helped with internships – maybe that's the "secret" part, a network only certain students know about. Or maybe it's just a really good excuse for late night pizza. Either way, the mystery continues!
