The solemn act of loyalty to the Italian Republic establishes the full entry of the students into the ranks of the Army.
Addressing the students, the Army Chief of Staff underlined that “School is a place where you learn the value of being generous and available towards others and you learn to be courageous and aware; virtues that are strengthened in the sense of common duty and in the light of identity rules and a behavioral code based on discipline, cohesion and the teaching of military ethics. Be proud of your courageous choice, always demonstrating, whatever your dreams for the future, how solid the principles and values you believe in are and how contagious the passion and enthusiasm of being a student of the 'Teulié' Military School can be . The truer the ideal of your unity, the richer in opportunities the future of future generations will be.".
The ceremony took place in the presence of the highest political, institutional and religious officials in the area such as the prefect of Milan, Dr. Claudio Sgaraglia, the Banner of the city of Milan and the representatives of the fighting and weapons associations.
The participation of the students' families was warm, arriving from all over Italy, excited and proud of the goal achieved by their children after the first intense semester of stay at the School. Finally, the presence of numerous former students of the Institute who gathered around the frequenting "brothers" was passionate and festive, resulting in a parade following the armed departments.
During the ceremony, the commander of the Teulié Military School returned the First Tricolor symbol of the "Five Days" of Milan kept at the school on these commemorative days to the president of the city council, Dr. Elena Buscemi.
