Italian term or phrase: Al di là delle note di colore
A metà tra cronaca e leggenda si racconta nel ’54 di un primo esperimento alla facoltà di ingegneria di Roma che fa tremare le fondamenta dell’istituto e il centro della città. Al di là delle note di colore, c’è la sostanza di un singolare scienziato “manager” che, da titolare della prima cattedra italiana di ingegneria aerospaziale, riesce a tessere una fitta rete di rapporti tra il nostro Paese e gli Stati Uniti, tra il mondo della ricerca e quello militare.
