The results of the literature study showed that Montessori was the first Italian woman to graduate from medicine. Montessori was interested in the study of mental illness and psychological disorders in children.

Abstract/Notes: The study aims to investigate a topic less debated in Montessori studies, which is the theme of childbirth, essential for the application of the Montessori’s method in all age groups and also to children aged from zero to three years old. For this reason Maria Montessori’s little known writings are deliberately considered. These writings are very significant for the reconstruction of her educational thinking which has always seen the childbirth as the starting point for a reflection of the newborn education and a transformation of humanity considering a review of its educational processes. This reflection is indispensable today in the absence of specific training courses to “welcome the secret of the child who comes into the world” which were the educational courses for birth attendants starting from the end of the 1940s. Tracing the history of these Montessori educational courses and of the great personalities who have designed them, can be used to rethink Montessori differentiating instruction courses in order to acquire skills related also to welcome the newborn. This means adding in these educational courses specific learning modules about “education from birth” according to a definition beloved by Montessori. / En este artículo se investiga un tema poco abordado en los estudios Montessori, el tema del nacimiento, que resulta fundamental en términos de aplicación del método Montessori en todos los grupos de edad y por lo tanto también en el de los niños de edades comprendidas entre los cero y los tres años de edad. Por esta razón se consideran deliberadamente textos menos conocidos de María Montessori, pero muy significativos para la reconstrucción de su pensamiento pedagógico, que siempre ha entendido el nacimiento como el punto de partida para la reflexión de la nueva pedagogía y la transformación de la humanidad considerando una revisión de su proceso educativo. Esta reflexión es indispensable hoy en día, en ausencia de una formación específica para “recibir el secreto del niño que viene al mundo”, que formaba parte, a partir de finales de los años cuarenta, de los cursos de formación de las matronas. Trazar la historia de estos cursos de formación Montessori y de las grandes personalidades que los diseñaron puede servir para repensar estos cursos dirigidos a adquirir habilidades relacionadas con dar la bienvenida al recién nacido. Esto significa añadir en estos cursos de formación módulos específicos sobre "la educación desde el nacimiento”, de acuerdo con la definición dada por Montessori.
