The Laboratorio is part of the city Department of Education. It produces audiovisual materials and runs workshops for elementary and middle school students. Its consultation service centered on education in reference to the image is offered to teachers, parents, students, and managers of public and private structures and services (districts, schools, associations, cooperatives, laboratories, etc.).
Elio Mosso (1956) has been working with the Laboratorio since 1978.
