Olja Višković ; Labin National Museum, Labin, Croatia

Abstract

Giuseppina Martinuzzi (Labin, 1844–Labin, 1925), an educator, teacher, poet, and social and political worker from Labin, was one of the most prominent persons in Istrian history. Although many pages could be written about her, this paper focuses on her educational career, following her path from self-training to teacher positions in schools in blue-collar neighborhoods and among the poorest layers of society. She was an excellent and innovative educator, both in practice and in theory, as confirmed by her “Manuale Mnemonico”, synaptic tables designed to facilitate learning and memorize matters taught. Teaching and working at such schools also affected other aspects of her life, encouraged her to become politically active, and shaped the personality of Giuseppina Martinuzzi, a fighter for social change.
