On 13 October, will be devoted to the volume Giordano
Riccati, illuminista veneto ed europeo in the “Veneto Music Studies”
series. This book brings together the papers presented at a conference
held on San Giorgio in 2010, as part of the events promoted by the
Veneto Region to commemorate the third centenary of the birth of the Treviso intellectual Jacopo Riccati (1709-1790). An eminent
18th-century scientist and man of letters, Riccati worked in the fields
of mathematical sciences, acoustics, music and architecture. Like the
conference that preceded it, the book contains – and this is
particularly interesting – not only papers given by major experts
in the field, but also the results of research specially commissioned
for the occasion and conducted by young scholars on specific topics in
the history of architecture, the history of mathematics, acoustics and
musicology.
