The kitchen and dining room inside the Scuola di Barbiana, the school founded and led by priest and educator Don Lorenzo Milani, are seen on April 7, 2026, in Barbiana, Vicchio, Tuscany, Italy. The room preserves original furnishings including a wood-burning stove, a large credenza with glazed doors, wooden chairs, and a dining table covered with a floral cloth. A pencil portrait and a framed photograph hang on the whitewashed wall. Don Lorenzo Milani lived and taught at Barbiana from 1954 until his death on June 26, 1967. The site is today a museum and destination for educators, students, and visitors interested in social issues. (Photo by Matteo Della Torre/NurPhoto)
