      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>In 1911, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Marie Curie, eight years after she had received the Nobel Prize for Physics. An extraordinary scientific adventure ended, and the deification of an iconic character and symbol of the amazing transformations of costume which would characterize the following decades began to take root. During the transfer of the Curies’ remains to the Pantheon, Pierre Gilles de Gennes wanted to underline Marie’s "beauty of self-denial". The Christmas Lecture pays tribute to the dual inheritance which she left us: the strength of scientific rationality against the obscurantism of beliefs and gender equality. The conference traces the most relevant aspects of Marie Curie's life, sharing her extraordinary scientific discoveries, but also underlining socio-cultural and customary aspects and highlighting the historical context of an era which was tumultuously changing.</p>

      <abstract xml:lang="it">
        <p>Nel 1911, il Premio Nobel per la chimica veniva conferito a Marie Curie, dopo che otto anni prima aveva ricevuto quello per la fisica. Si concludeva una straordinaria avventura scientifica e iniziava a porre le radici la deificazione di un personaggio icona e simbolo delle stupefacenti trasformazioni di costume che caratterizzeranno i decenni a venire. Durante la cerimonia di traslazione dei resti dei Curie al Pantheon, Pierre Gilles de Gennes volle sottolineare di Maria "la bellezza dell'abnegazione". La Christmas Lecture rende omaggio alla duplice eredità che ella ci ha lasciato: la forza della razionalità scientifica contro l'oscurantismo delle credenze e l'uguaglianza di genere. La conferenza ripercorre gli aspetti più salienti della vita di Marie Curie, divulgando le sue straordinarie scoperte scientifiche, ma anche sottolineando aspetti socio-culturali e di costume ed evidenziando il contesto storico di un'epoca che tumultuosamente stava trasformandosi.
