The name Faber is dedicated to Fabrizio De Andrè, a songwriter that is able of let our sight fly higher than the plane of ordinary life and leading us to poetic imagery.
Faber nido and pre-school is housed in the Villa San Giusto. The villa was built in Art Nouveau style during the second half of the 19th century for residential use. Around 1950, the building was purchased by the Municipality of Reggio Emilia and used as a primary school, later becoming a municipal infant toddler center and kindergarten. Since 2003 the school has been managed by Cooperativa Panta Rei in agreement with the Municipality of Reggio Emilia. The school stands on three floors, and is surrounded by a large wooded park.
Faber promotes the educational continuity from 0-6 years: families can enrol their children in the infant toddler center and continue their experience at the preschool without reapplying to the Municipality.
