Cartolina, August

Cartolina radio programs “for those who remember Italy and who dream of it”.

This month Cartolina introduces a nice couple from Rome.

7:30pm 6 Aug. & 10:30am 11 Aug: Professor Antonio Capone from Roma University takes us on a fascinating journey through the most advanced research in the field of the tiny components of the Universe. See how neutrinos are chased in Antarctica and in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. And all in plain words!

7:30pm 20 Aug. & 10:30am 25 Aug: Dottoressa Marina Bicchieri from Istituto per la patologia del libro, the Institute of Books’ Pathology in Rome, takes us behind the scenes of how old manuscripts are analyzed and preserved. Egyptian papyrus, a nun’s letter in a bottle, St Francis of Assisi’s autograph, a Leonardo da Vinci’s codex, all of this is part of Marina’s everyday job.
