The Flanginian School (Greek: Φλαγγίνειος Σχολή; Italian: Collegio Flanginiano) was a Greek educational institution that operated in Venice, Italy, from 1664–1665 to 1905.[1][2] The Flanginian produced several teachers who contributed to the modern Greek Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries.[3]
