I lettori del "Corriere dei Piccoli" tra educazione e medicina

In the history of education the XXth Century is called “the child’s Century” because the medicine and the science changed educational practices and people’s mentality. At the beginning of XXth Century this development was present in the children’s magazines as the “Corriere dei Piccoli” (1908-1995). In this journal the children had a central role as ideal readers and as real readers. The essay explains the real and ideal infancy in informative texts, in the advertising spaces, in the “Correspondence” and in the novels where there was attention toward the medicine and the science.
