On Tuesday, December 2, the new Children's Natural Science Museum opened to the public, housing a collection of objects and educational tools designed for teaching science. These are not simple crafts, but actual museum-quality installations created by children for children: models, exhibits, explanatory structures and panels, all made with remarkable creativity and technical skill, based on extreme scientific rigour.

The collection will be housed in the Fratelli Bandiera school, part of the Montessori-Pini School, where Alberto Manzi taught decades ago. Manzi is also known for the television programme Non è mai troppo tardi (It's Never Too Late), which taught millions of Italians to read and write during the 1960s.
