Abstract

This report shows the results of a P.C.T.O. (Course for Transversal Skills and Orientation) experience, carried out entirely in DAD (Remote Learning) in the s.y. 2020/2021, involving 100 students from the Scientific and Artistic Secondary School of I.I.S. Cellini, Valenza (AL), Italy. The didactic experience aimed to introduce and spread the important figure of Guido da Vigevano, scientist, doctor and engineer of the 13th/14th century. The entire formative path focused, in particular, on the work Le macchine del re by G. Ostuni, a critical study of the manuscript by Guido da Vigevano Texaurus Regis Francie, which was analyzed by the students from a historical, architectural, engineering, physical and artistic point of view, and encouraged them to think about overcoming the traditional dichotomy existing between humanities and scientific disciplines.
