Prof. Leonardo Fogassi explained that studies on brain plasticity demonstrate that the Montessori educational method based on movement is suitable for the physiological development of the child's brain. Raniero Regni reinforced this concept, explaining that the Montessori method consists in offering help to life, in guaranteeing the child the environmental conditions, the tools so that he can express himself freely, with his own times, to be able to identify his place in the world, and represents the solution to save the world. In the last 2 years, many cities in Italy have started Montessori sections from preschool to middle school.
