Biography

I graduated in Mathematics from the Department of U. Dini of Florence University in 1977, with a thesis of a historical-didactic character, under the guidance of Prof. C. Pucci. I have carried out my academic and teaching activity in the same department, first as a holder of a scholarship from the National Research Council, starting in 1978, and then as a researcher from 1984 to 2011. On 23 December 2011 I was given the post of associate professor at the U. Dini Mathematics Department at Florence University. My research has been and continues to be conducted in the sphere of the history of mathematics and the history of the teaching of mathematics. My academic production is essentially focused on the Galilean school and the abacus teachers and schools of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and has included biographical studies of Luca Pacioli and Leonardo da Vinci. Since graduating I have attended refresher courses for high school teachers, conferences and seminars and I have collaborated on the preparation of several exhibitions related to the history of mathematics. In addition to several training courses, I have taught the Mathematics and Mathematics of Mathematics and Statistics for Biotechnology, the courses of Outline of the History of Mathematics and History of Mathematics for the second cycle degree in Mathematics; I have also taught a short course at the Open University for All Ages on the History of Mathematics in Italy between the 13th and 15th Centuries.
