The perspective

Students of Liceo "Duni" go on searching Maths in every day life. Some of them have tried to catch examples of perspective with their cameras. All the pictures have been taken by the students during school or family trips!

Parallel and perpendicular lines

The students from Matera looked around them searching for everyday Maths. Some of them focused on parallel and perpendicular lines visible in nature or in man-made environments and have made a video with pictures taken while walking around town. It is so surprising to see how Maths is everywhere!

Last task



Maths is around us. It's time to start the last task! You are all invited to look for Maths around us. Maths is in our houses, in towns, in Nature and in Art. Take your photos to show us where it is hidden and publish them in a nice format!

The bread of Matera

Bread is an important symbol of Matera. Its culture has got deep roots in the city's history. Bread is produced by skilled masters with hard wheat flour, according to a very ancient recipe.
It has been at the heart of the city life for centuries and it is still the "sacred" food on families' dining tables.
Up to the 1950s housewives used hard wooden stamps to mark their loaves so as to recognize them once baked. Numerous stamps ar still on display at Museo Archeologico Nazionale Domenico Ridola of Matera.
Luca has made this video to share our tradition with you.
The soundtrack is a traditional folk song in Matera's dialect
