    Caterina Scarpellini (1808-1873) spent all her private life and scientific activity in Rome at the Tower of Pope Nicholas V on the Campidoglio. There, she acted first as the assistant guardian of the astronomical instruments of the local Observatory and then as the holder of a meteorological station. During her lifetime, that same place hosted several scientific institutions and took on...

    Si presentano la carriera scientifica e la vicenda personale di Nella Mortara (1893-1988) e di Daria Bocciarelli (1910-2006). Nonostante la scarsa documentazione al riguardo, è possibile ricostruire attraverso le loro storie un pezzo significativo, se pur "minore", della storia della fisica romana, tra l'Istituto di via Panisperna e il laboratorio fisico della Sanità, negli anni a cavallo...

    The XVIII Century has been a century with profound transformations that affected the female universe traditional behavioral models. In this context, Bologna played a leading role.
    In fact, during this century the memory of acknowledged women, such as Accorsa, Bitisia Gozzadini and Alessandra Giliani, who lived between the XII and XIII Centuries, re-emerged and constituted a very strong...

  5. 62. Between the salon and the laboratory (and beyond). The “new chemistry” of Marie-Anne Paulze-Lavoisier (1758-1836)

    Marie-Anne Paulze-Lavoisier (1758-1836) is known today as an active promoter of the so-called “new chemistry”, a set of theoretical and methodological assumptions that affected chemistry in the late eighteenth-century. This reputation is largely due to her collaboration with her husband, the French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794), whom she supported through illustration and...

  6. 51. “Qui siamo tutti astronomi”?
    Campanile, Benedetta (Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro)

    The first women to have scientific recognition in the space of astronomy belonged to the Harvard College Observatory. But in other cases, women have remained nameless faces, relegated to the role of helpers to dispose of the amount of data produced by photographic applications. They do not appear in publications and it is difficult to reconstruct their presence in the laboratories because only...
