Under the same sky? Astronomers and racial laws in Italy
The devastating impact of racial laws in many fields of science, from mathematics to psychology, was well known. But even astronomy was heavily affected by these unfortunate measures.
In the meeting we will talk about Jewish astronomers, their expulsion, their torment and what happened after the Liberation.
Presents: Ginevra Trinchieri (INAF Astronomer – Brera Astronomical Observatory)
Agnese Mandrino is responsible for the Library and Historical Archive of the Astronomical Observatory of Brera (MI).
He is one of the editors of the "Ink Skies" section of the Journal of Astronomy.
