The San Donato School Building was designed by Giuseppe Romita at the initiative of Podesta Guido Massa. Romita reworked, in a modern key, Donato Tempesta's design. Constructed in accordance with the principles of rationalist and futurist architecture, Romita's building included more than ten classrooms, rooms for teachers, a medical cabinet, lodgings for custodians, a thermosiphon heating system, a theater, a terrace for heliotherapy, a gymnasium, and spaces dedicated to fascist organizations and conciliation.

The laying of the foundation stone took place on August 31, 1934, accompanied by a large event that attracted numerous citizens and provincial authorities. In 2016, the building underwent a complete renovation to accommodate the kindergarten, primary and secondary schools.

Giuseppe Romita (1887-1958) was a prominent engineer and politician, known for his anti-fascist efforts and his role as a national consultant and deputy to the Constituent Assembly. Considered one of the Fathers of the Republic, Romita held important ministerial posts: minister of the Interior (1945-46), of Public Works (1945; 1946-47) and of Labor and Social Security (1947).

In 1949, Romita led the split from the PSI that led to the creation of the United Socialist Party (PSU). As Minister of Public Works (1954-57) he built the Autostrada del Sole highway, upgraded Italy's port system, supported social housing and promoted the construction of aqueducts. His infrastructural vision was decisive for the Italian "economic miracle" (1958-63).
