IDA BACCINI’S EDUCATIONAL UNIVERSE: PASSION, COMMITMENT AND PERSONALITY

Abstract

The work and personality of Ida Baccini merge into a diverse
universe of ideas, instruction and innovative claims, within a
socio-political framework led by changes and important reforms.
In that moment of historical transition, the new united Italy needed
a model of society whose exemplarity created the pillars of a
strong and educated nation. To this call comes the teacher, writer,
journalist and restless idealist to mark the beginnings of a good
academic education and leave their mark, totally innovative, in
school textbooks and their children's and young stories that would
greatly contribute to the development of Italian education; although,
unfortunately, it has been forgotten and its works have no
echo beyond the borders. To this rescue we will contribute in the
present article.
