Episode 18 – Inauguration of Casa Dei Bambini
Casa dei Bambini was inaugurated on 6th Jan. 1907. It was neither similar to the present Montessori Houses of Children nor the schools of those days. During the nineteenth century, it was thought that young children could not be educated as they were immature; the teacher should be highly qualified, and parents to be well educated. Casa dei Bambini proved that all these were mere misconceptions.
