Naples has long been a cultural capital, and a scientific capital as well. Not only Naples, but also its Kingdom.
Historians of science, knowledge and philosophy, of language and antiquarianism, of economics and political organization, of religions and the arts, experts in museums, collections and material culture, engaged in detailed research or broader reconstructions, will present the research they have in progress.
Is there a specific feature of Neapolitan scientific culture and practices?
This seminar series aims to attempt to answer this question – but promises to raise many others.
We do not intend to set ourselves preliminary chronological or thematic limits; we rather propose an open workshop for those who wish to contribute to reconstructing one of the most exciting and least known episodes in Italian scientific history.
