On 11 December 2021, Carolina Montessori, Maria Montessori's great granddaughter, was the honoured guest at the opening of Casa Montessori Chiaravalle.  Joined by the Curator, Cristiana Colli, Damiano Costantini, Major of Chiaravalle, and Francesco Favi, Municipal Councillor for Culture, the short film takes the viewer through the rooms, and the celebration of the opening of the project. 

Casa Montessori Chiaravalle

A House made of rooms that becomes invention and project, experience and memory, a never-ending insight on Maria Montessori’s thought. This place tells the story of the woman, the mother, the scholar, the traveler, the scientist, the pedagogist connecting Chiaravalle to the world. A birthplace, a museum, a community within the community – virtual and real all at once – the whole House shines as a place of broad and unconventional knowledge, of meditation, contemplation, dissemination. Through contemporary tools and languages, the life and work of Maria Montessori are brought back as signs, exhibits, inspirations, and multicultural dialogues, connections among languages, geographies, worlds and disciplines.
