On June 15th 2012 Museo Galileo will host the seminar, organized by Marco Beretta and Alessandro Tosi, titled Tennis and the Scientific Revolution. It represents the first of a series of conferences organized in collaboration with Watson Publishing International and called the “Neale W. Watson International Seminar on the Material and Visual History of Science”.
