Maria Montessori Bruno Munaritoccare la bellezza touching beauty

Can we perceive, distinguish, and appreciate beauty through touch? What happens if the gaze is no longer there, or was never there? Is the enjoyment of beauty lost forever or can we find it in other ways?The book ‘Touching Beauty. Montessori, Munari’ explores these questions through the thinking, ideas and original works of Maria Montessori and Bruno Munari, some of the most illustrious figures in modern Italian culture. Both of them, although moving in very different fields, posed these same questions, which now become the object of a detailed analysis and reflection on the aesthetic value of tactility.
