The State Technical Institute took on its current name starting from the 2011-2012 school year, following the merger of the ‘Enrico Fermi’ Technical Institute for Surveyors with the ‘Silvano Fedi’ Industrial Technical Institute. The school is located in the western area of Pistoia. The course of study has a total duration of five years, divided into a common first two-year period and three-year periods (two years plus one) for the study areas in: Environmental Chemistry and Biotechnology, Construction, Environment and Territory, Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Telecommunications, Mechanics and Mechatronics. The Fedi-Fermi Institute also offers an evening course for working students.
