An international environment, with campuses in Rome and Milan

Saint Louis travels throughout Italy and around the world, with its musicians constantly engaged in events and concerts, yet it has chosen the country’s two most important cities, Rome and Milan, as the home of its courses.

The music school in Rome, where Saint Louis was founded in 1976, has four locations in the heart of the city (all in the Rione Monti district, between the Colosseum and Via Nazionale). It features 50 multifunctional classrooms and 5 recording studios for teaching and music production.

The Saint Louis campus in Milan is located in the La Stilo building at the Bodio Center, near the vibrant Bovisa and Isola districts. It is a creative hub within a broader urban redevelopment project of the surrounding area, a place that connects diverse yet complementary institutions in the field of creativity, such as RUFA and SPD Scuola Politecnica di Design.

Saint Louis College of Music sede di Roma

The Saint Louis in Rome are all located in the Monti district, just a stone’s throw from the Colosseum: a widespread musical hub designed for learning, practice, and the daily life of a vibrant community of musicians. Classrooms are dedicated to both instrumental and theoretical teaching, rehearsal rooms are equipped for ensembles of various types, and recording studios combine audio technology with hands-on learning—each space serving a specific need in the educational journey.

In the corridors and common areas, there is a dynamic and professional atmosphere, characteristic of a place where students, teachers, and musicians meet every day. The library-media center—which also houses a collection of vinyl records—the student office, and the international office are constant points of reference, while masterclasses, seminars, and live concerts regularly enliven the campuses, turning them into an open platform for artistic and creative exchange.

Roman Domus in the Saint Louis Basement

In the underground spaces beneath the Saint Louis location on Via Baccina in Rome, ancient masonry structures have been uncovered, in particular a Roman Domus: a significant heritage site dating back to the 1st century AD, featuring mosaics, well-preserved walls, and a fresco.

Saint Louis has initiated a restoration project for the Domus to make it accessible to scholars and the public.

Along Via del Grifone, a series of rooms have been identified, which, based on their architectural features, were likely commercial spaces and storage rooms on the ground floor of a large building—probably one of the insulae that ancient sources describe as characterizing this area of the Suburra.

The rooms, running parallel to the street axis of Via Baccina, show traces of doors and windows on the brick walls, which were later sealed by subsequent interventions.

The vaulted roof has completely disappeared, but its remnants are still clearly visible on the innermost walls, along with parts of the upper-floor masonry.

In the adjacent spaces, only partially investigated down to the floor level, structures of high-quality residential function dating back to the Antonine period have been identified.

A large rectangular room, covered with a barrel vault and featuring wide openings along the long walls, preserves extensive sections of the original mosaic flooring with alternating white hexagons and black diamonds. Some in situ panels of opus sectile remain, in shades of ancient yellow, dove-grey, slate, and ancient gray, following the same decorative motif as the mosaic, which characterized the space between the openings.

In a second room, with a mosaic floor decorated in a checkerboard pattern of alternating black and white squares, the fresco decoration preserved on two of the original walls stands out, showing floral motifs and the figure of a small bird.

Analysis of some bricks used in the original sewer network revealed a sort of “factory mark” indicating, in addition to the manufacturer, the names of the consuls in office—Paetinus and Apronianus.

This information allows for the precise dating of the construction to the consulship of 123 AD, though final confirmation will come once studies are completed by the Archaeological Superintendency.
