Franco Lorenzoni

How was music born into the world?

workshop
ages 7 to 11
60 minutes
25 participants

One day long ago a woman, man or perhaps a child discovered they could produce music. How did this happen? What emotions did they feel? With a special teacher we will have fun investigating this mystery and hear the mythical tales on the origin of music in the world.

Franco Lorenzoni is a primary school teacher and founded the Casa-laboratorio di Cenci in Amelia, Umbria, a centre for educational experimentation that studies ecological, scientific, intercultural and inclusion matters. For his activity he received Lo Straniero Prize with Roberta Passoni. He contributes to the following magazines: Internazionale, Cooperazione Educativa, La vita scolastica and Gli Asini. His books include: Cinque passi per una scuola inclusiva (with R. Passoni, Erickson, 2019) and – published by Sellerio – I bambini pensano grande (2014, 2021), I bambini ci guardano (2019) and Educare controvento. Storie di maestre e maestri ribelli (2023). He directed the documentary Elementare. For his educational work in 2021 he received two honorary degrees from the Bicocca University of Milan and the University of Palermo.
