The 45th National Congress of the Italian Societ y for the History of Physics and Astronomy will take place in&nbs p;Genova on 9-12 September 2025 .

The main venue will be the Department of Physics  of the University of Genova.

< strong>The Congress

The Congress is one of a well-establish ed series that SISFA has been organizing yearly since its foundation. It ai ms at promoting research activities in the history of physics and astronomy in Italy, carried out not only by academic historians but also by independ ent scholars and school teachers willing to explore the role of the history of physics and astronomy in the present-day teaching of the disciplines. A t the same time, the Congress provides an opportunity to strengthen collabo rations and establish new links among the members of SISFA and the members of other scholarly societies, as well as researchers working in the same an d related fields.

Historians of physics and astronomy are then invite d to participate and the invitation is extended to all the scholars and res earchers sharing the same kind of interests.

The Congress will host b oth invited talks and oral communications. The official languages will be b oth Italian and English.

The SISFA award for the Best Graduate Thesis in History of Physics or History of Astronomy (Premio di Laurea SISFA 2025) will be awarded during the Congress.

Topics

Proposals for oral communications should mainly address the history of p hysics and astronomy, also in connection with the related areas of mathemat ics, chemistry, and the history of science and culture. Studies focusing on historical instruments and documentary sources regarding the mentioned fie lds are also relevant to the purposes of the Congress, as well as the appli cations of the history of physics and astronomy in science education and mu seum displays.

Thematic sessions:

Gi an Domenico Cassini: 400 anni dalla nascita / Gian Domenico Cassin i: 400 Years After his Birth 
Mathematician and ast ronomer, Gian Domenico Cassini (1625-1712) born in Perinaldo (IM) and educa ted at the Collegio Gesuita in Genova, was professor of astronomy at the Un iversity of Bologna, then astronomer at the Observatoire Royal in Paris (16 69-1712), as well as one of the most important astronomers in the XVII cent ury. This session will celebrate the 400th anniversary of Cassini’s birth a nd intends to focus on the major developments that led to the birth of mode rn astronomy in the XVI-XVII centuries.

Dalla Vecchia Teoria dei Quanti alla Meccanica Quantistica / From the Old Quantum Theor y to Quantum Mechanics
From 1925 onwards some articles a ppeared in the scientific literature that deeply influenced the development of Quantum Theory. W. Heisenberg, E. Schrödinger, N. Bohr and other physic ists were the godfathers of the new Quantum Mechanics. This session aims to analyze the themes and the interpretations of the QM.

La Fis ica e il Mare: conoscere, navigare, esplorare / Physics and the Se a: Knowing, Sailing, Exploring. /
This session will explore the role of physics in relation to the sea, weaving together histo rical and contemporary perspectives. From cartography intertwining science and art to the physics of tides; from the problem of determining longitude in navigation to the development of instruments such as sextants, clocks an d other devices, up to the KM3NeT, the European telescope and its neutrino detectors located at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

Mus ei, Archivi e collezioni scientifiche di fisica e astronomia in Italia e ne l mondo / Museums, Archives, and Scientific Collections of Physics and Astronomy in Italy and Abroad
The historical collec tions of instruments and documents testify to scientific progress, and they are still resources for teaching and research. This session will give spac e to Italian and foreign historical collections

Dialogo tra s toria, didattica e divulgazione in fisica e astronomia / Dialogue Between History, Teaching and Dissemination in Physics and Astronomy
This session will focus on the connections between science edu cation, public engagement and the history of physics and astronomy.
