Abstract/Notes: Il diario testimonia l'incontro fra culture e linguaggi differenti avvenuto su una terra di nessuno, dominata dalle forze della natura. Da una parte i guitti, famiglie contadine nomadi provenienti soprattutto dalla Ciociaria, lavoratori stagionali che trascorrono a Palidoro i mesi freddi per tornare sui monti nei mesi caldi, quando la malaria comincia a mietere vittime. Dall'altra c'è la maestra con le sue conoscenze, aspirazioni, sogni, illusioni e, soprattutto, convinzioni. Fra di loro c'è il territorio, una sorta di grande laboratorio pedagogico, un campo d'azione dove si svolge questa avventura scolastica. Ma il libro testimonia anche un mondo preesistente a quello che nella vulgata appare come l'unico reale: per molti la Campagna Romana è quella che è diventata dopo le bonifiche degli anni Venti del Novecento o le riforme agrarie degli anni Cinquanta; da molti il mondo contadino, se non tutto il mondo antecedente, viene superato e annullato dai cambiamenti epocali che hanno portato più benessere, salute e difesa dei diritti vitali a chi qui viveva. Queste conquiste non devono però far dimenticare che un'umanità, una cultura erano precedenti e ben radicati in questi luoghi. [The diary bears witness to the encounter between different cultures and languages ​​that took place in a no man's land, dominated by the forces of nature. On the one hand the walkers, nomadic peasant families coming mainly from the Ciociaria, seasonal workers who spend the cold months in Palidoro to return to the mountains in the warm months, when malaria begins to take its toll. On the other hand there is the teacher with her knowledge, aspirations, dreams, illusions and, above all, beliefs. Among them is the territory, a sort of large pedagogical laboratory, a field of action where this scholastic adventure takes place. But the book also bears witness to a world that pre-existed the one that appears to be the only real one in the Vulgate: for many the Campagna Romana is what it has become after the land reclamations of the 1920s or the agrarian reforms of the 1950s; by many the peasant world, if not the entire previous world, is overcome and canceled by the epochal changes that have brought more well-being, health and defense of vital rights to those who lived here. However, these conquests must not make us forget that a humanity, a culture were previous and well rooted in these places.]

Abstract/Notes: This article reflects on the concept of cosmic education set out by Maria Montessori in strict correlation to those of cosmic vision and cosmic plan. Cosmic education is considered here as a fundamental direction within the original core of the thought of Maria Montessori since the early twentieth century. Among the different orders of consideration that support the actuality of cosmic education, two are the object of analysis. The first concerns the content plan that aims to create interactions with the various disciplinary fields (scientific, historical and geographical education, etc.) as a unitary vision and development of knowledge. The second concerns the existential level: it embraces and summarizes the concepts of “ecological education”, “education for peace”, and “education for the world” in themselves to the point of recalling implications of ethical and aesthetic education.
