SUMMARY

In Bologna, beneath the vaulted ceilings of anatomy theatres and within 18th-century cabinets of curiosities, knowledge was built through observation and experimentation. This program pays tribute to learned women who contributed to major advances in the natural, physical, and mathematical sciences, notably at the University of Bologna, a pio-
neer in this field. This concert offers an enlightened listening experience, where music and curiosity resonate together.
