“La vita di Maria Montessori, l’educatrice italiana
che ha precorso i tempi diventando célèbre in
tutto il mondo grazie al suo metodo pedagogico
rivoluzionario. All fine dell’Ottocento fu tra le prime
donne italiane a laurearsi in medicina, una donna
modern ache combatte le ipocrisie del propio tempo,
e ha dedicato tutta la sua vita al “metodo”, tentando
di farlo entrare nel sistema arcaico della scuola
italiana mentre il resto del mondo ne comprende
subito l’importanza.” School related event; not open
