Camillo Cavour e la chimica
dei fertilizzanti
Mostra bibliografica
14-29 aprile 2011 dal lunedì al venerdì 9:00–18:00
Viale G. Fanin 40 – 40127 Bologna
La mostra, nell’anno in cui si celebrano il 150° anniversario
dell’Unità d’Italia, e l’Anno Internazionale della Chimica, illustra, attraverso la figura storica di Cavour, come il progresso
della scienza sia strettamente legato alla storia del nostro
Paese e al suo sviluppo economico e politico. Questa mostra
mette in luce un aspetto inedito del grande statista e racconta
il suo impegno concreto per avviare in Italia una moderna produzione di fertilizzanti.
L’inaugurazione si terrà il 14 aprile, alle ore 10.30, presso l’Aula
Magna della Facoltà di Agraria (Viale Fanin 44 a Bologna).
Interverranno:
Prof. Angelo Varni, docente di Storia del Risorgimento, Università
di Bologna
Prof. Claudio Ciavatta, docente di Fertilità del suolo e nutrizione
delle piante, Università di Bologna
Moderatore: Prof. Andrea Segrè, Preside della Facoltà di Agraria
Uno dei testi esposti nella mostra bibliografica di Bologna. Si tratta di un opuscolo pubblicato in occasione dell’Esposizione industriale di Milano del 1861 e che propone di utilizzare un fertilizzante a base di zolfo e carbonato di potassio per contenere la filossera.
