Among the modernist tendencies, the success of Theosophy took a relevant place in renewing contemporary feelings of religion and piety. Particularly, the essay highlights the relevance of the spiritual cenacle working at the Montesca House, where the first edition of the Montessori’s Method was accomplished. Theosophical characters also moved around this spiritual circle and some of them played a distinctive role in the first transfer of the Montessori’s system to France.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p> ER -
