Anna Maria Cavallone played an important role in the consolidation of Italian social work, particularly regarding its international dimension. After taking a degree in Foreign Languages and Literature, she qualified as a social worker in 1952. These experiences instilled a firm conviction that professional practice must be guided by scientific rigor, hence her unflagging commitment to the process that led in 1987 to Italy’s legal recognition of the social work profession, which mandated that practitioners must have university qualifications. Even after her retirement in the early 1990s, Cavallone continued to participate actively in the world of Italian social work, open as always to international dialog as her publications from this decade testify.

Abstract
Anna Maria Cavallone played an important role in the consolidation of Italian social work, particularly regarding its international dimension. After taking a degree in Foreign Languages and Literature, she qualified as a social worker in 1952. These experiences instilled a firm conviction that professional practice must be guided by scientific rigor, hence her unflagging commitment to the process that led in 1987 to Italy’s legal recognition of the social work profession, which mandated that practitioners must have university qualifications. Even after her retirement in the early 1990s, Cavallone continued to participate actively in the world of Italian social work, open as always to international dialog as her publications from this decade testify.
