AMI Talks: An Invitation to Celebrate and Reflect

In celebration of the birthday of Maria Montessori on 31 August (1870), AMI convened a special online talk that explored the evolution of Maria Montessori’s thoughts on human development. AMI's historical archives is a wonderful instrument to mine and extend knowledge and feed the future. This is more than a collection of documents—it is a living repository of thought, experience, and evolution. The 31 August 2025 talk reflected on the significance of preserving these materials—as a foundation for future exploration. The talk features the stories of two young PhD students, Irene Pozzi and Emma Perrone, who, facilitated by AMI’s legacy team, did extensive research into the archives.
