Einstein speaks italian

Descrizione

In his youth Albert Einstein lived in Italy; he returned here in 1921 to visit his Italian colleagues, first in Bologna and then in Padua, holding a series of public conferences. At that time, the “Einstein myth” had established itself throughout the world. The documentary reports the newspaper chronicle, the original texts and the testimonies of this Italian interlude in the biography of the great scientist.
