Phase Jesuit
The College was founded by the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuits, on the sites of the ancient Abbey of Grignano and designed with architect Giovan Battista Origoni The lobby and the entrance were built by the architect Giuseppe Valentini Prato. Inside are worthy of note is the refectory (painted by Giacinto Fabbroni in 1754 with scenes from the Bible), the eighteenth-century chapel (with interesting wooden furniture) and theater (the first church boarding school, combined current use during period of secularization of the institution: its frescoes were redone during the Fascist period) The foundation was made possible by a substantial bequest to which the priest had helped F. Fazzi, Noble L. Niccolai and especially the Canon F. Storks, which is precisely tied the name of the boarding school. Between 1692 and 1715, the College-Seminary was active in nine homes in the square Mercatale because the slow work of the local Cicognini were not usable. However in 1715 the Jesuits moved once and for all activities of the College to its present site, although work has not yet been completed, which in reality lasted well into the eighteenth century. In 1737 the Grand Duke died Gian Gastone died out with him and the Medicis. The Peace of Vienna (1738) ended the War of Polish Succession and Francis Stephen of Lorraine, husband of Maria Theresa of Austria won the Grand Ducal Crown of Tuscany. The new Grand Duke was in Florence on May 30, 1739 and remained there for only three months. The responsibilities of government were entrusted in the hands of the prime ministers including the Rucellai, who administered on behalf of the Hapsburg very effectively. On the death of Franz Stephan came to the throne in 1765 Grand Duke Peter Leopold, son of that Francis Stephen and Maria Theresa, he began with those great reforms which put the small Tuscany, at least in some areas, leading in Europe. In 1773 Pope Clement XIV abolished the Society of Jesus with the encyclical Dominus ac Redemptor noster, and the Duke placed the college under its protection, which became known as Imperial College and Royal.
