No full texttalian translation of F. Luzzini, "Bibliographical Distortions, Distortive Habits: Contextualizing Italian Publications in the History of Science" (Isis, Vol. 109, n. S1, 2019, pp. 3-13). With a foreword by Dario Generali and Fabio Minazzi
Sine ira et studio: Metodo e impegno civile per una razionalità illuministica. Scritti offerti a Dario Generali
No full textDario Generali is a unique case in the panorama of Italian historical and philosophical studies. A student of Mario Dal Pra and of the tradition of the Milan School, a scholar of absolute methodological rigor but, at the same time, free from disciplinary prejudices, able like few others to combine lightness of tone and argumentative effectiveness, a tireless promoter of knowledge and culture: in over four decades of activity he has been able to combine excellent research and teaching with a passionate and constant commitment to civil society. On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, this volume collects the studies and testimonies of many students, colleagues, collaborators and friends who have crossed Generali's human and professional path

Accettare lo stato mutevole dell’arte. Ecdotica, informatica e interdisciplinarità: inquietudini epistemologiche, metodologiche, accademiche
No full textQuesto contributo esamina alcune questioni metodologiche ed epistemologiche relative all'ecdotica, alle digital humanities e, più in generale, all'approccio interdisciplinare nella ricerca storico-scientifica, discutendo come questi strumenti abbiano influenzato l'evoluzione della storia della scienza in Italia e, a loro volta, come stiano venendo gravemente penalizzati dai criteri di valutazione della ricerca introdotti dall'ANVUR negi ultimi anni

Il miracolo inutile: Antonio Vallisneri e le scienze della Terra in Europa tra XVII e XVIII secolo
No full textThis book focuses on the studies performed by Antonio Vallisneri (1661-1730) in the field of the Earth sciences, also examining the impact that those investigations had on the European Republic of Letters. Relying on both scientific and historical methods, the author analyzes Vallisneri’s field research and theories: these concerned several crucial topics such as the genesis of mountains and fountains, the debate on the origin of fossils, and the discovery of deep-time
Matrices, not seeds. Vallisneri’s research on mines: between empiricism and philosophy
No full textSince the beginning of his scientific activity the physician and naturalist Antonio Vallisneri
(1661-1730) devoted many studies to the Earth sciences. In those years his interest focused
particularly on the features of mineral kingdom and its relationship with spring water. The first
observations date back to the last decade of XVII century, when the author analysed the gypsum
and sulphur veins on the Monte Gesso, in the Duchy of Modena and Reggio.
Some years later, during one of his journeys across the northern Apennines in search for the
origin of springs, Vallisneri reached the Este domain of Garfagnana. There he explored the iron
caves of Fornovolasco: this experience allowed him to support his theory with many empirical
information, later exposed in the Lezione Accademica intorno all’Origine delle Fontane (1715).
The many data collected by Vallisneri encouraged him to outline a theoretical interpretation of
mineral genesis. He supposed the mineral veins as developed by ‘seeds’ released in the Earth
by God. The successful growth of ore veins, therefore, depended on the more or less favourable
environment they would have found by accident. These ‘seeds’, as the author clarified, were not
intended to be the very same of ‘perfect germs of generation’ typical of animals or plants. Rather,
they were ‘matrices’ that had to be detected in order to exploit the wealth of mines posed, in a
proper Leibnizian conception, ‘by God for world’s use’
