Tra teoria e pratica: l’opera scientifica di Giorgio Bidone (2016)

unapi

The mathematician and hydraulic engineer Giorgio Bidone (1781-1839) had an important role in the Piedmontese scientific scenery of the first half of the Nineteenth century. Bidone was professor of Hydraulics and Descriptive Geometry at the University of Turin. He gave his most relevant contributions in the field of hydraulics by combining mathematical theory and practical experience. In Turin there was a building for hydraulic experiences, called “Stabilimento della Parella,” which was purpose-built to study the motion of water, therefore allowing Bidone to conduct numerous experiments aimed at validating the empirical formulas that were still used in this scientific sector. Among Bidone’s pupils, there were many of the most relevant scientific personalities of the next generation, such as Carlo Ignazio Giulio, Luigi Federico Menabrea and Prospero Richelmy.
