La corrispondenza scientifica tra il veronese Gaetano Spandri e il gesuita Giambattista Pianciani​

This work contains the complete transcription of seventeen handwritten letters, written between 1837 and 1856, from the Veronese scientist Gaetano Spandri (1796-1859) to the Jesuit physicist of the Roman College Giambattista Pianciani (1784-1862), guarded at the Historical Archives of the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. The transcription of the letters is preceded by a brief introduction, some biographical information on the two scientists and a summary of the contents of the correspondence that we consider most relevant for a history of physical sciences in Italy in the first half of the nineteenth century. In particular, the letters provide valuable information on the activities of Spandri as a talented experimenter and maker of scientific instruments.
