Fabiola Gianotti's account retraces a serious technical incident that affects a major scientific experiment, the initial shock and the subsequent recovery. In parallel, her personal reflections and the strong emotions linked to the responsibility of leading the project emerge.

Marika explains school vocabulary: first she presents the main spaces of the school building, then the people who work or study at school. Let's discover together if you know all the vocabulary related to the school environment.

Here is the account of the startup of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN on September 10, 2008, when for the first time proton beams began to circulate in the accelerator ring. The event, followed live by the media, is presented as a historic moment for science, despite the fears and catastrophic news spread in those days.

In this part Fabiola Gianotti talks about the connection between science and creativity, combining physics and music as universal forms of expression. She also explains the work of the Large Hadron Collider, where proton beams are made to collide to study the universe right after the Big Bang.

Matteo tells us how fundamental it is to know the entire score, not just one's own part, in order to best interpret a piece. For him, music is above all education in listening: to the composer, to other musicians, and to oneself. Playing together thus becomes an experience of growth and mutual care, even before it becomes artistic.

The physicists describe their amazement at the grandeur of the detector, a symbol of collective scientific effort that unites different cultures to understand the universe. A work compared to a cathedral, an expression of science as part of civilization's progress.

Sometimes the accompanist has to follow the soloist's musical intentions, but at other times, when the musician is not very experienced, the accompanist needs to guide the soloist and make the best of a potentially tricky musical situation. This depends on the musical and technical level of the soloist, as well as the experience and maturity of the accompanist.

Fabiola and her colleagues retrace the long journey toward the discovery of the Higgs boson: from Peter Higgs' theoretical intuition to the difficult meetings at CERN, up to the realization of the Large Hadron Collider, initially considered almost impossible.

Pianist Matteo Bogazzi explains what his job — pianista collaboratore (collaborating pianist) is all about, and how he got there. The interview took place during a chamber music festival and summer course in Lucca, where he was working.

In this part, the encounter with physicist Fabiola Gianotti at CERN is retraced, highlighting her scientific talent, humanity and prominent role in international research. Between personal memories and reflections on theoretical and experimental physics, the importance of collaboration between the two fields emerges, recalled by the example of the discovery of the Higgs boson.

Marika proposes a new series of riddles designed to train logic and improve Italian comprehension. In this video you will have to guess common words related to the human body, everyday objects, seasons, cities, sports and nature. Are you ready to put your intuition to the test and find out if you can understand all the clues?

In the video Renzo Piano and Fabiola tell about CERN as a symbol of the cultural and scientific rebirth of the post-war period. Through personal memories and everyday dialogues, CERN emerges as a place of human and international encounter, founded on curiosity, peaceful collaboration and love for knowledge.

Fabiola Gianotti describes CERN as a place of encounter, growth and international cooperation; a young and multicultural environment where science is experienced in a democratic way. The archival images celebrate the original spirit of CERN: an extraordinary adventure.

In today's guessing game video, Marika describes more objects, places, and foods. You have to guess what she is talking about, but if you can understand the description, you are already almost there!

Fabiola Gianotti here tells the story of how her passion for physics was born: from the influence of a great teacher and from reading Marie Curie's biography, to choosing physics as a fundamental discipline and arriving at CERN, experienced as an extraordinary place for scientific research.
