Notes: Marisa Addomine , SOAS University of London Graduate Student Marisa Addomine is an independent researcher for History of Mechanical Horology, living in School at UniverNorthern Italy, not far from Bergamo. She got a MSc in Electronics (with honours) at Politecnico di Milano and worked for 25 years as a project leader for large software projects, both in Italy and abroad. Her wish to get first hand information from ancient documents led her to attend the Latin Paleographysity of Florence. Mainly interested in public clocks and early clockmaking, she discovered in 2004 a clock in Chioggia which she could date to 1386. She currently cooperates with Italian and foreign universities and she is the curator of two turret clock museums in Italy, working in the meantime with auction houses, as head of the horological department. She has given several talks in Italy and abroad; in UK, she lectured for the British Horological Institute and has been invited speaker for several years at the International Medieval Congress of Leeds. In November 2018 she was invited to give the 30th Dingwall-Beloe Horological Lecture, organized by the British Museum in London together with The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers. Her talk was about her research on the astrological use of Italian astronomical public clocks during late Middle Age and Renaissance. She is the author of two museum catalogues (both about turret clocks) and more than 150 articles about horology, both in Italian and English. She is currently a PhD student (History of Science) of Warburg Institute, London
