1839 marks the birth of photography and the beginning of a close and complex relationship between the new instrument and scientific practice. The camera becomes a fundamental resource for the research, documentation and divulgation of science.
The "L'occhio della scienza" ("The Eye of Science") exhibition aims to illustrate this cultural and scientific turning point with two exhibitions set up in Pisa and Florence.
The project on show in Florence
The Eye of Science: Giorgio Roster and Odoardo Beccari, explorers of places and images
The project on show in Pisa
