Abstract/Notes: This article discusses the relationship between Mary Montessori and the Catholic Church. More specifically, it provides the results of the investigation and the conclusions related to convictions and support that arise from various sectors of the Catholic sphere. Maria Montessori’s pedagogical methodology, without leaving doubts aside, suspicions and complicities, had a recurring link with female and male religious congregations especially in Italy, but also in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands (Mallorca and Menorca). This study presents different epicentres, always with the figure of Montessori as the protagonist: it starts from some of the internal movements of the Holy See in 1917, the figure of Father Antoni Casulleras is introduced as a mediator in those polls, and focuses mainly on Mallorca, precisely because this missionary of St. Vincent de Paul had congregational responsibilities in Mallorca while maintaining a close relationship which Montessori and the Roman Curia leaders. Consequently, the research it takes place in the period of the Great War, especially between 1914 and 1919, in a situation of reception and very explicit support of the Montessori method by the Catalan and Balearic Catholic sectors. / Aquest article tracta un aspecte de la relació entre Maria Montessori i l’Església catòlica. Més concretament, aporta els resultats de la investigació i les conclusions relacionades amb condemnes i suports que sorgiren des de sectors diversos de l’àmbit catòlic. La metodologia pedagògica de Maria Montessori, sense deixar de banda dubtes, recels i complicitats, tingué una vinculació recurrent amb congregacions religioses femenines i masculines, sobretot a Itàlia, però també a Catalunya i a les Balears (Mallorca i Menorca). Aquest estudi presenta diferents epicentres, sempre amb la figura de Montessori com a protagonista: es parteix d’alguns dels moviments interns de la Santa Seu el 1917, s’introdueix la figura del pare Antoni Casulleras com a mediador en aquells sondeigs, i se centra sobretot a Mallorca, precisament perquè aquest missioner de Sant Vicenç de Paül tenia responsabilitats congregacionals a Mallorca mentre mantenia una relació estreta amb Montessori i amb els responsables de la cúria romana. En conseqüència, la recerca s’ubica en el període de la Gran Guerra, i més en especial entre 1914 i 1919, en una conjuntura de recepció i de suport molt explícit del mètode Montessori per part dels sectors catòlics catalans i balears. / Este artículo trata un aspecto de la relación entre Maria Montessori y la Iglesia católica.

Abstract/Notes: In the Italian speaking canton of Tessin there has been a wide range of pedagogical methods used in pre-school education. Among those are: the «Asilo infantile», «kindergarten», the «Casa dei bambini montessoriana» and the «Scuola materna» models. In the last decade a further and newly defined model has been developed. It is called the «scuola dell’infanzia» or «Childhood school» which has been adopted in the official «Orientamenti prommatici» or «Education Program Guidelines» for the year 2000.The new model aims to combine and harmonise the most outstanding characteristics of the past models into an education process adequately designed to deal with the child’s needs inside the “Scuola dell’infanzia”. It takes into account the child’s verbal and non verbal com-munication, their emotional and affective life, their behaviour and cognitive sphere.The current work describes, through key questions, the steps taken and the reasons which lead to the current «Scuola dell’infanzia». A description of the strengths and a critical view of the still pending challenges is also reported to show where potential improvements are needed. Furthermore a specific list of observation points is given to describe how the school sees its capability to deal with many challenges. Among these challenges are the child’s needs including social needs, the ability of the teaching staff to be at the same wavelength as their educational tasks and the continuity of the education system between the «scuola dell’infanzia» and the Elementary school along with the specific pedagogical tools.
