Roberto Natalini and Cristina Mottironi on Artribune Podcast

In the latest episode of Contemporaneamente, a podcast by Artribune, mathematician Roberto Natalini and tourism economist Cristina Mottironi discuss the intersection of mathematics and common sense, territorial impacts, and predictive mathematical models. Natalini, director of the Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo “Mauro Picone” of the CNR, researches partial differential equations applied to biology, monument conservation, traffic, and gas dynamics. He also coordinates the Comics&Science project and chairs the European Mathematical Society's commission for public promotion of mathematics. Mottironi, director of the Master in Tourism Economics at Bocconi University, focuses on sustainable tourism development, cultural industries integration, and serves as a delegate for the Italian Ministry of the Environment on sustainable tourism under the Alpine Convention. The dialogue explores the historical divide between humanistic and scientific culture in Italy, advocating for a renewed union of knowledge, applied mathematics for cooperation and change science, and innovative consumption models through community involvement. Topics range from inspirational motivations to morphogenesis and tooth regrowth possibilities.
