This exhibition consists in a series of images and prints about the life and work of the greatest astronomer of the Renaissance, the Polish Nicolaus Copernicus – the discoverer of modern heliocentrism who spent fundamental formative years in the Italian universities of Padua, Bologna and Ferrara. It is a realization of the Nicolaus Copernicus Foundation of Lubawa (Poland) in collaboration with the ERC EarlyModernCosmology project (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), which studies the cultural history of cosmology in the early modern period. The exhibition aims to refresh the memory of a central figure in European intellectual history and celebrate his time of sensational scientific revolutions. The exhibition anticipates the celebration of the 550th birth anniversary of Copernicus, the man “who stopped the sun and set the earth in motion”.

Registration is required to iniziative_cfz@unive.it. Access to the exhibition requires a valid COVID-19 Green Pass certificate.
