Abstract

Starting from the suggestions that emerged from Claudia Pazzini’s book, Maria Montessori tra Romeyne Ranieri di Sorbello e Alice Franchetti dall’imprenditoria femminile modernista alla creazione del Metodo, published by Fefè Editore in 2021, this contribution intends to reflect on the virtuous connections of female existential paths that originated around the noblewoman Romeyne Ranieri di Sorbello. Between modernist thrusts and emancipationist impulses, major personalities such as Maria Montessori and Alice Franchetti crossed paths with those of misunderstood women within a microcosm of education and daily life interwoven with real and symbolic meanings.
