free admission subject to availability
event in Italian
A show that brings to life the great discoveries about the Universe made over the last century.
From Henrietta Levitt and Edwin Hubble, who theorised the expansion of the Universe, to Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who accidentally discovered the cosmic echo of the Big Bang; from Jocelyn Bell Burnell and pulsars, to Vera Rubin and dark matter; right up to the major experiments of today, such as those at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories or the large gravitational-wave detectors like Virgo. Maps of the cosmos become stories, emotions, and the dizzying sense of infinity that scientists dare to gaze upon.
