Description:	The Institute and Museum of the History of Science took part in the Festa della Geografia (Geography Festival) - held at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence on November 12-15 - with a workshop called "Misurare con la vista" (Measuring with Sight). Through the proposed activities it was possible to trace the history of measuring instruments and illustrate their use. The event also hosted, on November 12th, the presentation of the new edition of the "Scientific Itineraries in Tuscany", a very rich web application, where the Tuscan scientific heritage, enhanced at a turistic-cultural level, is integrated with artistic patrimony (http://brunelleschi.imss.fi.it/itineraries/index.html).
