Il prefetto Adrien de Lezay-Marnésia e la scuola normale di Strasburgo del 1810

The pedagogical experiences that took place in the years of the French
Revolution laid the foundations for the creation of new educational institutions with
the aim of training a generation of teachers prepared and attentive to new teaching
methods. In 1810, thanks to the initiative of the prefect Adrien de Lezay-Marnésia,
an upholder of the dignity of the civil service and a catalyst for Austro-German
pedagogical innovations, the normal school of Strasbourg came to life. From the
Rhine border, this became the model for subsequent foundations in the Kingdom of
France.
