Special Educational Spaces in the Italian Juridical-Pedagogical Tradition between the 19th and 20th Centuries: the School-Ship Redenzione
Abstract
In the years when the Italian School of Criminology, riding the wave of Positivism, managed to establish its own disciplinary autonomy – the prelude to great albeit short-lived successes –, an innovative pedagogical tradition developed in Italy that sought to transform prisons from places of marginalisation and social exclusion into environments of education and training for social recovery. In those same years, some educational projects for the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders went even further, questioning the real rehabilitative capacity of the penitentiary system, as well as its consolidated and obsolete practices. Among these, the still under-investigated Nave del Redentore set up by Professor Nicolò Garaventa (1848-1917) stands out as an interesting chapter in the history of Italian education, which involved almost 12,000 minors in the period between 1883 and 1977.
