El niño es el maestro
vida de Maria Montessori
De Stefano, Cristina
Maria Montessori was one of the most influential women of her time. Her multidisciplinary training -in medicine, biology, anthropology and philosophy-, her pioneering defense of women's rights and her unwavering faith allowed her to conceive education from an unprecedented and revolutionary perspective that focused on the child, on leaving space and time, to observe and stimulate him imperceptibly according to his needs, trusting his intelligence and his ability to learn out of curiosity and not by imposition. She began her pedagogical project with the children of the asylum in Rome and later directing a kindergarten in San Lorenzo, one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. Soon the so-called "miracle of San Lorenzo" spread throughout the rest of the country and abroad, where the Montessori method became enormously popular, with Maria herself involved in the instruction of her disciples and in the creation of schools. Based on unpublished letters and direct testimonies, Cristina De Stefano reveals the little-known personality of Maria Montessori, a woman as charismatic as she is controversial, whose teaching method remains today, one hundred and fifty years after her birth, one of the most innovative and prestigious.
