The main school building is a 14th-century three story stone and brick palazzo which is located on Via Cavour. This was a family home as early as the 1300s, and was later used as the Canadian Headquarters for troops during the World War II.

CCI Boys live on the top floor of the school building on Via Cavour. The girls are housed in the Town's oldest Inn, Antica Locanda Allegria.
