This conference marks the conclusion of the celebrations for the centenary of the inauguration of the Monument to the Fallen of Lonato from the First World War and is linked to an exhibition dedicated to Tartaglia, set up at the Ugo Da Como House Museum, which will remain open until January 19, 2025.
Niccolò Tartaglia, a 16th-century mathematician from Brescia, is renowned for his significant contributions to mathematics, including the famous Tartaglia’s Triangle and the solution formula for cubic equations. These achievements made him a central figure in a well-known dispute with Gerolamo Cardano and Ludovico Ferrari. Attendance at the conference is free, but registration is required via phone or email.
