Special news! On the fourth of June, the secondary school Bertola from Rimini ended the visit of the school year 2004/2005 (millions of boys and girls had visited the museum). The school groups come from all parts of Italy. Pelagalli organised a lot of guided and interactive tours for all of these school groups. The visits were personalised according to the level of the school. In this way, the groups can learn the operation of a certain scientifical experiments, such as electrostatics, electrodynamics, sound waves, television, transmitting radio waves, computers and cinema. Additionally, thanks to Pelagalli and his visits, the groups can learn how to use the instruments of communication.
Students and teachers can learn, through original pieces of Marconi, Edison, Lumiere brothers, Ducati brothers, etc. They can listen to music in original juke boxes with 9000 songs inside! They can choose from them automatically, thanks to a specific software. Finally they can see the mechanised musical instruments of the 1700 and 1800 century.

I could see the astonished eyes of the young boys and girls who listened to me. I could hear the lengthy applause. I read the dedications with great emotion.
