"Scuola Superiore d'Arte Applicata all' Industria"

I get something more along the lines of "High School of Arts Applied to 
Industry", which I would expect to signify a school of industrial 
design or something like that (note that in Europe, "High School" is 
not the same thing as American high school, but something you would do 
after the equivalent of American high school).
