 The discovery of the weight of air, and the existence of the vacuum. A tribute to Evangelista Torricelli |
 |
|
The vacuum exists and air has weight: these are the revolutionary concepts proved by the famous experiment of Evangelista Torricelli, performed in Florence in 1644. This discovery is the subject of a working exhibition, which reproduces the experiments that demonstrated the existence of the vacuum. The suggestive staging of "The marvellous operations of air ", a theatre of experimental demonstrations of the marvellous effects produced by air, unites the scientific spirit and the atmosphere of the baroque. Are you ready to enter the void? |
