History

It was established as the Collegio di Porta Nuova in 1831 and became the Regio Collegio Monviso in 1860. It was renamed to its current name in 1882.
In the early 20th century several of the teachers were anti-Fascist figures, including Augusto Monti and. David Ward, author of "Primo Levi's Turin," wrote that Liceo d'Azeglio was "one of Turin's most prestigious schools".
The school is linked to the founding of Juventus F.C. as Sport-Club Juventus in late 1897 by pupils of the school but were renamed as Foot-Ball Club Juventus two years later.
The school held two study days in honor of alumnus Primo Levi in 2007.
