Maria skłodowska curie in Italy

From March 6 to 28, the exhibition dedicated to the great Polish-born scientist and two-time Nobel Prize winner Maria Skłodowska Curie will be open in the Liceo Classico-Scientifico, located at Corso Giolitti 11 in Cuneo. The exhibition will be open to the public Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm, with entrance at Corso Giolitti 11, and on Thursdays and Fridays also from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with entrance at Via Monte Zovetto 8. Free admission.
The exhibition panels were created by the Polish Academy of Sciences in Rome and illustrate the great scientist's three trips to Italy. Her discoveries on the chemical elements polonium and radium and her studies on radioactivity were fundamental to the development of 20th-century chemistry and physics.
Maria Skłodowska Curie came to Lurisia to study the thermal waters, considered miraculous for their remarkable therapeutic properties, attributed by local researchers to the presence of autunite, a radioactive mineral, in the surrounding mountains. It was the Italian government that invited Maria Skłodowska Curie, a Nobel Prize winner in Physics and Chemistry for her studies on radioactivity, to come to Italy: to Ischia, Montecatini, and in August 1918 to Lurisia. Maria Skłodowska Curie confirmed the beneficial properties of Lurisia's springs, rich in radioactive elements.
The exhibition offers the opportunity to learn more about this famous woman, Maria Skłodowska Curie, who remains a great model of women's emancipation today.
