Gonzagarredi Montessori

Gonzagarredi proudly calls itself “The History of Montessori Materials,” and with good reason. Founded in Maria Montessori’s own hometown, the very first classroom materials were designed and crafted. Based on her designs they still inspire children today. That legacy endures: Gonzagarredi is one of only three manufacturers worldwide whose products carry the coveted AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) approval.

The very name includes “Montessori,” reflecting roots that are both unique and unbreakable. Every item produce follows Dr. Montessori’s original principles—then grows with fresh ideas from the field’s top voices. After her passing, GAM continued refining designs in collaboration with renowned Montessorians such as Giuliana Sorge, Maria Antonietta Paolini, Camillo Grazzini, and Baiba Krumins, as well as organizations like AMI, Opera Nazionale Montessori, and Fondazione Chiaravalle.

Maria Montessori changed education worldwide; Gonzagarredi is honored to keep that spirit alive every single day. From beautifully finished wooden blocks to thoughtfully engineered classroom furniture, Gonzagarredi materials marry timeless design with modern craftsmanship—ready to spark discovery in the next generation of learners.
