The Earth is flat!!!

The myth of the flat Earth periodically appears among the most original and disconcerting beliefs, and even if its scientific bases are fragile (if not non-existent) even today a non-negligible percentage of people continue to believe in it (or at least look at it with interest). In this meeting we will retrace the debate on this problem, and above all we will discover the origin of this myth, from Ancient Greece, to the Arab world, to the Middle Ages up to the present day.
