Comunità e scuola, dalla teoria alla pratica. Marcello Trentanove (1924- 2017) e l’esperienza del tempo pieno a Bagno a Ripoli

Among the “deuteragonists” which should be analysed by history of education because of their work in post-war Italy, a remarkable place should be dedicated to Marcello Trentanove (1924-2017). As headmaster of the primary school in Bagno a Ripoli (Florence) between 1964 and 1990, he stimulated a broad cooperation among schools, local administrations, and parents for supporting the didactical innovations he introduced in his school between the Sixties and the Seventies: i.e., the firsts State-funded nursery schools, the full-time elementary schools, and the integrations of pupils with disabilities in common classes. This paper aims at focusing at the introduction of full-time elementary schools, highlighting how Trentanove (graduated in Pedagogy at the University of Florence in 1950) was connected to Lamberto Borghi, Giacomo Cives and Francesco de Bartolomeis’ theoretic proposals.
