The 'maturità' final high-school

exams got under way for around 527,747 Italian students on

Wednesday with the Italian test.

The students have to write an essay choosing from one of seven

questions.

This year's questions included one inviting a reflection on

Italian writer Cesare Pavese and unrequited love and another

about Mario Calabresi's book 'Alzarsi all'Alba' (Get up at Dawn)

and the importance of hard work.

Another option was a question about the need for borders based

on a text by Hungarian-Canadian academic Frank Furedi.

Students also have the opportunity to write about former Italian

president Giuseppe Saragat's speech to the Italian Constituent

Assembly, which was tasked with writing a constitution for the

Italian Republic after the vote to abolish the monarchy in the

1946 Italian institutional referendum.

Novelist and poet Vitaliano Brancati's work 'I Piaceri' and an

essay on the art of communicating science were also on the

paper.
