INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON TREASURES OF ART AND SCIENCE

The school

The school was born from the precise desire to bring the world of science into contact with the world of art, through exhibitions, lectures, meetings and all activities that can make people understand how artistic and scientific beauty are part of the same cultural universe. The exhibition on Fibonacci and the Golden Number is a clear and concrete example of this. The school also aims to enhance the magnificence of the Majorana Foundation sites by making them accessible and visitable to the general public, attracting them not only with the history of the scientific schools held within them, but also with the humanistic, artistic, archaeological, musical, theatrical and food and wine components. The school’s aim is also to make scientific and mathematical discoveries comprehensible in a popular language, if possible corroborated by interaction with other disciplines of human knowledge.
