La Società Italiana per il Progresso delle Scienze. Riunioni (1907-1939)
The proceedings of SIPS' Meetings (1907-1939) offer a good viewpoint on the status of Science in Italy:the Universities' programmes in education and research, the activities of new disciplinary societies and their contributions, the projects and enterprises of Engineering in Italy and in the Colonies.
According to Vito Volterra, one of its founders, the principal aims of SIPS were:
  • to promote cultural exchanges among the different disciplines in a context of increasing specialisation
  • to diffuse the "scientific sentiment" into the society
  • to favour the cooperation between industry and research centres
The papers presented at the meetings are grouped in three classes:
  • Class A: Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences
  • Class B: Biological Sciences
  • Class C: Moral and Social Sciences
In the following (linked) pages, you will find the details of each Meeting (in Italian).
