As part of an agreement between our Foundation and the ISISS of the Lucca Plain, the PCTO program for students in their first three-year classes at the Ettore Majorana Scientific High School in Capannori took place at our Museum from June 16 to August 31, 2025.
Five students from class 4B were involved in the project, completing their training at our Museum, supervised by their teachers—Prof. Tintori, Prof. Del Roso, Prof. Bianchi—and Prof. Maria Luisa Beconcini, with the assistance of Museum staff.
Activities began on June 20th with a meeting where the training program was outlined: students would attend the Museum alongside museum staff, study the history of the invention of the internal combustion engine, study documents related to museum operations, and finally, produce a paper highlighting the salient aspects of the experience.
The experience concluded on July 14th with a meeting attended by the students, Professor Alessandra Del Roso, Professor Maria Luisa Beconcini, and museum worker Dario Andreotti, who, among others, supervised the students.
The students expressed great satisfaction with the activity and shared their impressions of their visit to the Museum with their tutors, also offering suggestions on how to improve its experience, especially for foreign-language visitors.
It was a great experience for us too, so much so that we've already started working on implementing their proposals!!!
In September we will all be able to appreciate the results!
