– Maria Skłodowska-Curie travelled alone from Paris to Pisa by train on 30 July 1918 at 3:30 a.m. – this is how the extraordinary journey of the two-time Nobel Prize winner begins, during which she studied the natural radiation of thermal waters, fumaroles and rocks with Italian scientists. This expedition is probably the least known journey of our Nobel Prize winner, although it lasted three weeks. How did the expedition proceed during such a difficult period for Europe? What places did the Nobel Prize winner visit? Was she also interested in visiting Italy? How was she remembered? You will find answers to these and other questions by watching the Polish-Italian short documentary film directed by Paweł Cichoński entitled “Maria Skłodowska-Curie in Italy in Search of Radium”. Our film is also an excellent opportunity to take a short walk around Warsaw in the footsteps of Skłodowska-Curie, as well as to talk about the phenomenon of natural radioactivity, which, thanks to her pioneering research, revolutionized the perception of matter. We invite you to watch the material, which is the result of cooperation between: • the Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Center in Rome (Agnieszka Stefaniak-Hrycko), • the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (dr hab. Marcin Górecki), • the Faculty of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry of the University of Pisa (prof. Lorenzo Di Bari, prof. Gaetano Angelici, prof. Valentina Domenici), • the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum in Warsaw (Miłka Skalska) as part of the dissemination and promotion of science. The English and Italian versions of the film are also available on our YouTube channel.
