Enjoy a virtual tour of Maria Montessori's Study, narrated as if she were guiding us herself:
This photo is very dear to me as it depicts one of my closest friends: Maria Maraini Guerrieri Gonzaga. I met her during a feminist congress in Rome in 1908, and we soon developed a deep friendship which lasted throughout our lives. Maria was a great support in many ways. Just to mention a few things: she would help me with correspondence, find carpenters to make the materials I was keen to try out, and started her own Montessori school. She did so much more that I cannot possibly fit in all my admiration and gratitude in the limited space available here.
