The hill of Udine is completely artificial and was built by humans during the Bronze Age
The discovery was achieved thanks to the geoarchaeological analyzes coordinated by Prof. Alessandro Fontana. The research has just been published in the journal Scientifica Reports
The research group of Newton project recently visited Osservatorio Etneo
The activities are expected to enhance the understanding of Mt. Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe.
“A scientific world with fancy ideas”: a book (and an exhibition) on the fascinating connections between science and art
The photographs of Professor Bernardo Cesare have been chosen for a project jointly organized by the Art & Science Research Center (Beijing) and the Chinese National Geographic
