On Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15—from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM—the "Dino Campana" Library will host an exhibition and conference dedicated to Robert Hooke, the "Leonardo of England."
Did you know that it was he who coined the term "cell" to describe biological tissues, drawing inspiration from the small rooms—or "cells"—inhabited by monks? And did you know he was among the first to theorize that memory functions like an archive within the brain?
A versatile and tireless genius, whose work spanned fields from microscopy to architecture, and from astronomy to mechanics—this was Robert Hooke (1635–1703), a true "Leonardo of England" who forever altered the course of modern science.
Ars Rubiana invites you to discover his extraordinary story through this unmissable cultural event!
Through models and original experiments created by Renzo Rancoita, we will take a close-up look at the genius and inventions of this remarkable scientist-artist.
Free admission.
