In celebration of the birthday of Maria Montessori on 31 August (1870), we warmly invite you to join us for a special AMI online talk that explores the evolution of Maria Montessori’s thoughts on human development! Our historical archive is a wonderful instrument to mine and extend knowledge and feed the future.

It is more than a collection of documents—it is a living repository of thought, experience, and evolution. 

Our 31 August talk will reflect on the significance of preserving these materials—as a foundation for future exploration. On Maria Montessori’s birthday we celebrate the journey, and open the doors for those who wish to engage, research, and contribute to the legacy.

We hope you'll join us and hear the stories of two young PhD students who came to do extensive research into the archives, and hear how the archive opens windows of new insights. Meet Irene Pozzi, Emma Perrone and AMI’s legacy team.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the personal, historical, and archival threads that fuel meaningful academic inquiry.
