It documents not only important scientific research that came from the hands of Galileo Galilei and the physicists who followed in his footsteps, but also the growth of new disciplines such as chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and biochemistry. It recounts how, in the Middle Ages, chemistry began as an applied science that served to bolster the Florentine economy, particularly in the textile dyeing industry. Later, important scientific collections founded by the ruling Medici family served as the basis of renowned museums that now house priceless artifacts and instruments. Also described in this text are the chemists such as Hugo Schiff, Angelo Angeli, and Luigi Rolla, who were active over the course of the following century and a quarter. The authors tell the story of the evolution of the Royal University of Florence, which ultimately became the University of Florence. Of interest to historians and chemists, this tale is told through the lives and work of the principal actors in the university?s department of chemistry. 410 0$aHistory of Chemistry,$x2212-991X 606 $aChemistry?History 606 $aHistory 606 $aItaly?History 606 $aHistory of Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C34000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aHistory of Italy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717050 615 0$aChemistry?History. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aItaly?History. 615 14$aHistory of Chemistry. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aHistory of Italy. 676 $a540.945 700 $aFontani$b Marco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01024090 702 $aOrna$b Mary Virginia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aCosta$b Mariagrazia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254030503321 996 $aChemistry and Chemists in Florence$92504855 997 $aUNINA
