Gonzagarredi is a company which operates at international level drawing inspiration from history, culture, cooperation and solidarity. People’s demands during their whole lifespan are at the base of Gonzagarredi production of special educative materials and furnishings for pre-schools (0 – 6 years), primary and secondary schools as well as libraries.
Gonzagarredi dates back to 1911, when Maria Montessori, the famous pedagogist, was a guest at her friend Maria Maraini Guerrieri Gonzaga. Maria Montessori found a small joiner’s shop in Gonzaga where the educative material and furnishings required for her Method (today widespread all over the world) could be tried and produced.
That was the beginning of an important production activity, at first carried out as a private firm called “Baroni e Marangon” and later (1975) as a cooperative: SocietĂ  Cooperativa Gonzagarredi. 
Taking Montessori’s teachings to heart, which characterized the history of pedagogy in one of the most significant centuries for scientific research and technological innovation, Gonzagarredi has been able to retain a heritage of ideas and culture handed down from generation to generation and still representing the cornerstone for the growth and success of the Company. 
In the course of the years Gonzagarredi has become a reference point for those who want to study and experiment new ideas and products. The environment is dynamic and the synergy among different skills is favoured by dialogue and cooperation. 
Gonzagarredi is a cooperative association which aims at increasing a common heritage, a valuable resource for future generations that will continue its growth and development.
