On the 20th of July 1822 the spaces of the monastery were open to receive the community of teachers and boarding school girls, run by Don Ciliota, whose number was growing by leaps and bounds. In the neighbouring area of San Samuele, Don Pietro Ciliota had already started to receive poor girls in order to teach them catechism, and give them, with the help of some teachers, the foundations of knowledge (reading and writing), and of housework.
