From November 16th to 27th, a rich program of free events including exhibition routes, mathematical games, concerts, exhibitions, conferences and workshops.
Pisa pays homage to Leonardo Fibonacci, one of the most important mathematicians of the Middle Ages, with the 2026 Fibonacci Days, an initiative involving various local organizations. A journey between past and present to rediscover the figure of the Pisan mathematician and his connection to the Mediterranean. An opportunity to approach mathematics from different perspectives, through history, music, curiosity, and experimentation.
The program kicks off from November 16th to 22nd with "Il coraggio di farsi domande" (The Courage to Ask Questions), an exhibition accompanied by games, puzzles, and creative workshops, curated by Aedeka. Following activities dedicated to schools during the week, Saturday, November 21st and Sunday, November 22nd, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the initiative opens to the public at the Former Church of Sant'Antonio in Qualquonia, offering families and visitors the opportunity to freely explore the route and participate in the activities offered.
The weekend of November 21st and 22nd will also be enlivened by the Mare Nostrum Choralis Festival, organized by the Alma Pisarum association, with concerts and a choral conference in some significant locations around the city.
From November 22nd to 24th, the State Archives of Pisa will host the documentary exhibition Leonardo di Guglielmo di Bonaccio, dedicated to Fibonacci's ancestors through the testimonies preserved in the historical parchments.
On November 23rd, the Ludoteca Scientifica will host a conference dedicated to Fibonacci, while from November 23rd to 27th, the University of Pisa will offer workshops for the schools "La matematica per capire il mondo, dai conigli ai computer" (Mathematics for Understanding the World, from Rabbits to Computers), at the Museo degli Strumenti per ilò Calcolo and the Ludoteca Scientifica.
The Fibonacci Days thus invite citizens, families, students and visitors to discover how numbers can become a bridge between different cultures, disciplines and eras, in the city that gave birth to one of the great protagonists of the history of mathematics.
All events are free.
