Description
The scientific content of this Public Engagement Project is drawn from Anna Maragno's PhD Thesis, concerning the history of meteorology in Ferrara from the end of the eighteenth century to the first two decades of the twentieth and, in particular, focusing on the figure and on the work of Giuseppe Bongiovanni (1851-1918), director of the Meteorological Observatory in Ferrara.
The aim of the Project is to present the places and the protagonists of this story to a non-specialist public, with a specific focus on creating an immersive experience via multi-sensory activities. The methodologies designed to achieve this goal will be highlighted, together with a description of the planned display of the Project: seminars, cultural events and workshops all including innovative aspects of "hands-on" didactics.
