finaleThe final judgement has arrived romano Roman student shows up for graduation on a stool carried on his shoulders by his friends.

An Italian high school student named Matteo Iacopini made headlines by presenting himself for his final exam, known as the 'Maturità', while seated on a gilded throne carried by friends. The event, which took place at a Roman school, was part of a creative project where Matteo, who calls himself 'Marchese' and has gained attention online for his humorous videos, dressed like a monarch and performed a theatrical entrance. His friends helped carry the elaborate setup, including a canopy and a chair, through the school grounds. While many young people praised the creativity and humor, some critics questioned whether the act showed respect for the formal nature of the exam. Matteo explained that he approached the exam with a relaxed mindset, having studied without excessive anxiety. He mentioned that he had previously attended school in a limousine, funded by his own work, and created the throne and canopy in just five days with a friend. After completing the exam, he plans to pursue a communications course at university and continue creating content that engages others.
