Verse 20 from chapter 11 of the Book of Wisdom is the title that the students of the \u201cNiccol\u00f2 Copernico\u201d State Scientific High School in Pavia have chosen, together with teachers Cinzia Camerino, Gianmarco Ricciardi, and Antonio Rovelli, as the title of the course to rediscover the precious scientific material that the Seminary has possessed since the late eighteenth century and which it has enriched until recently.<\/p>\n

On November 23, the high school students will be exceptional guides to discover the history, architecture, and art of the ancient Theodosius Monastery. Above all, they will reveal to the city the Natural History Museum and the collection of physics and astronomy instruments purchased by Cardinal Pietro Maffi for the scientific observations conducted at the Seminary between the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of international research and study programmes. The instruments and specimens from the museum collection will speak once again through the fresh voices and brilliant minds of enthusiastic young people who have dedicated their time and passion to offering the city the opportunity to explore a scientific heritage in a magical and unexpected place. <\/p>\n

The Project, which started last February with activities in schools, will see its second public moment next Sunday and will also offer to the curiosity of visitors the precious fourteenth-century manuscript Chronicon imaginis mundi<\/em> by Jacopo d'Acqui, preserved in the Seminary Library. A project that, in the words of Headmaster Paola Donatella Penna, has allowed the boys and girls to learn in a new and different way, challenging themselves in a real-world task of great cultural scope. A visit to the Seminary will therefore be a wonderful opportunity to encounter Culture, Art, Science, and History, held hand in hand and led by the future of our country.<\/p>\n
