Details

📚 Fantastic news! It was in this very school that the famous Maestro Alberto Manzi began his career as an elementary school teacher in 1950. He was the teacher who, in later years, became the host of the television program "It's Never Too Late," created to combat illiteracy. A museum has been created in these school spaces, displaying a collection of objects and educational tools designed for science teaching, created by the students of the time—at the instigation of the legendary Maestro. Five topics are covered: astronomy, paleontology, geology, biological evolution, and paleoanthropology. This innovative school workshop also includes an introductory exhibition illustrating the Maestro's life and pedagogical methodology. Another highlight is the children's direct participation in the creation of this museum space, where the scientific collection becomes a series of educational tools for both those who "create" it and those who "observe" it—a child-friendly journey where adults can also learn and experiment. Visits are by reservation only, contacting the school directly.
