Abstract

This contribution aims to reconstruct the network of national and international relations which contributed to the return of Maria Montessori to Italy in May 1947 and to the establishment of a Centro di Studi Pedagogici in order to create the conditions for a permanent residence of the scientist in her country. The reconstitution of the Opera Nazionale Montessori and the activities of its president Maria de Unterrichter Jervolino in collaboration with leading personalities of Italian political and cultural life and with the ‘historical’ students of Montessori are placed in this context.
