A Visit Around the Town of Chiaravalle

Whiling away some time before the International premiere of the newest documentary on Montessori we explored the center of town. What did we find?

• A professor from the University of Macerata who teaches pedagogical theory who instructed us on the importance of Montessori's studies in Anthropology and her evolutionary perspective on human development;
  
• a Cistercian Abby from 1147 in the Roman Gothic Style and the origin of the Tobacco industries in town;
  
• the Headquarters of the Chiaravalle Montessori Foundation where they offer Montessori Training
  
• the Plaza in front of Montessori's natal home, Piazza Mazzini and the town Library;
  
• and the 5:30 "Book Presentation for the Montessori Graphic Novel" Line up outside the Teatro Valle.
