the male and female academies respectively in Gallarate and in Castiglione Olona. When the war ended, many students, who couldn't finish the courses at the Fascist academies, asked to complete their training and to get the final degree. As a consequence, Parliament approved in 1950 law number 415. It stated that it was necessary to organize some courses so that the former students, who had to stop attending the academies, could pass the final exams. This law gave the possibility to many students, first of all those expelled for racial reasons, to finish their courses. The law stated also that the courses organized in the RSI and the degrees granted by the academies of Gallarate and Castiglione Olona were not to be acknowledged by the Italian democratic state. On 20 February 1951 the High Council of Public Education approved the regulation for the organization of the courses that took place in Rome from 1951 to 1954. To guarantee the training of the physical education teachers of the Italian democratic republic it was opened in Rome the Istituto Superiore di Educazione Fisica (ISEF) (or High Institute for Physical Education) in 1953. Only on 25 January 1967, the Institute obtained a final seat at the former GIL Music Academy located at the Foro Italico (former Foro Mussolini).
