“Madame Skłodowska-Curie arrived alone from Paris to Pisa by train on July 30, 1918, at 3:30 a.m.” This is how the extraordinary journey of the two-time Nobel laureate began, during which she travelled with Italian scientists, investigating natural radiation in thermal waters, fumaroles, and rocks. This research tour is probably the least known journey of the Polish Nobel Prize winner, although it lasted three weeks.

The Polish-Italian short documentary directed by Pawel Cichonski, “Marie Skłodowska-Curie in Italy in search of Radium” is an excellent opportunity to take a short walk around Warsaw and Pisa in the footsteps of Skłodowska-Curie and to talk about the phenomenon of natural radioactivity, which thanks to her pioneering research, revolutionized the perception of matter.

We invite you to see our movie that is the result of cooperation among:
• Scientific Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Rome (Agnieszka Stefaniak-Hrycko),
• Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (prof. Marcin Górecki),
• Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry of the University of Pisa (prof. Lorenzo Di Bari, prof. Gaetano Angelici, prof. Valentina Domenici)
• Museum of Maria Skłodowska-Curie in Warsaw (Miłka Skalska)
as part of activities to disseminate and promote science.
