N2 - The expansion of mass schooling between the 19th and 20th centuries was followed by increasing investments in teacher training. The feminization of the teaching profession was a widespread phenomenon, while differing in characteristics between countries and regions, raising questions of moral, social, economic nature. This article delves into the intricate processes of the educational revolution, particularly focusing on the creation of normal schools, the rise of the teaching profession and its feminization in Italy following the Casati Law of 1859. As a result, this article provides insights into the recurrent reforms of teacher training institutions, the gradual feminization of these training teacher institutions, and their curricular differentiation from their male counterparts.
