During the inauguration of the 801st academic year, on 13 February, the two-part art installation L'abiura di Galileo that Emilio Isgrò created in celebration800th anniversary of the University of Padua was unveiled.

Located in the cloister of Palazzo Bo and entitled Eppur si muove, the first part takes the form of a large granite globe encompassed by his blackout artistic signature across continents. A limited number of words expose a newly interpreted meaning from its context.

Located in the Sala dei Quaranta of Palazzo Bo and entitled Chissà se si muove davvero, the second part sees the artist applying his blackout signature with red markings to the pages of Dialogo sopra I due massimi sistemi del mondo, a book published in 1632 and understood to be the definitive cause of the Galileo’s condemnation and suspected heresy.
