Marie Sklodowska-Curie in Italy in Search of Radium
Poland/Italy, 2023
documentary
"Madame Curie arrived alone from Paris to Pisa by train on July 30, 1918, at 3:30 a.m.” This is how the extraordinary journey of the two-time Nobel laureate began, during which she travelled with Italian scientists, investigating natural radiation in thermal waters, fumaroles, and rocks. This research tour is probably the least known journey of hers, although it lasted three weeks.
How did the research tour proceed during such a difficult period for Europe? What places did the Nobel laureate visit? Was the scientist also interested in touring Italy? How is she remembered today?
It's also an excellent opportunity to talk about the phenomenon of natural radioactivity, which thanks to her pioneering research, revolutionised the perception of matter.
