Overview

  • Step into the 16th century, a time when the University of Padua ignited a scientific revolution that forever changed how we understand the human body and the natural world. Join Max, a historian of science, and Claudia, a curious Paduan local, as they trace the dramatic shift from ancient superstitions to empirical science. From the world's oldest surviving anatomical theatre to the very first academic botanical garden, you will uncover tales of grave-robbing, pharmaceutical fraud, and the birth of modern medicine. This is a cerebral, immersive journey through the cobblestone streets where Galileo taught and Vesalius dissected.
