Can math be fun?

The answer is yes… especially if we enter the world of Fibonacci and his Liber Abaci.

In 1228, Leonardo Pisano, known as Fibonacci, wrote a manuscript that was much more than a treatise: it was a surprising collection of problems, games, practical examples, and insights that changed the way Europe began to do calculations. The goal was clear: to demonstrate how much more convenient, faster, and powerful it was to use Arabic numerals (with zero) than the most common calculation systems of the time.

A man against Roman numerals

For centuries, in Europe, counting was done using Roman numerals, without the zero and without the positional system: a language that, at a certain point, was no longer sufficient to keep pace with growing markets, trade, calculations, new routes, and new practical needs.
Fibonacci is the man who accepted the challenge and attempted to bring a new way of thinking: simpler, more powerful, more modern.

Liber Abaci is not library dust

When we talk about medieval manuscripts, we often imagine something distant, for insiders. Yet the Liber Abaci is a living text: it recounts an era when mathematics was a daily tool for trade, exchange, and measurement. And it does so with a language full of concrete examples, puzzles, and problems that can still be replicated and understood today.

This is where our idea was born: to transform Liber Abaci into an experience.

A 55-minute “anti-conference” format, in fact…

…after the beautiful preview presentation of Liber Abaci at the Mateureka Museum in Pennabilli, we decided to create a format lasting just 55 minutes, designed to be:

• funny and ironic (without losing content)
• informative yet accessible
• interactive, because the public can participate and try out the mathematical games in the manuscript first hand

Not the classic "dusty" conference, where you play with your cell phone or iPad to pass the time, but a meeting that leaves something behind: culture, wonder, and the concrete sensation of having touched (even mentally) a piece of history.

For companies and institutions it is culture that enhances the brand-

This format can be inserted into:

• corporate events (customers, suppliers, stakeholders)
• cultural and institutional initiatives
• special presentations and themed evenings

Visibility

Furthermore, it also offers online visibility: the event can be shared on our and your web and social media platforms, and the host brand is associated with original and distinctive cultural content.

Costs

Our goal is to provide information: we only ask for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

See and Touch the Fibonacci Sequence "as it was written in 1228"
You can find everything about Fibonacci online. But it's one thing to read a summary; it's quite another to see and touch the Liber Abbaci and observe the sequence as it appears in the manuscript.
