An important archaeological novelty and an important scientific novelty are the protagonists of the episode. With Alberto Angela we go to the territories of ancient Liternum, a city linked to one of the most famous characters in Roman history: Publius Cornelius Scipione, known as Scipione the Africanus, and which today is located in the municipality of Giugliano, in the province of Naples, for follow the opening of a sarcophagus found in the tomb of Cerberus, where a burial chamber dating back over two thousand years was found with all its treasures intact. We then talk about the promising experimentation on neurotrophins, the molecules discovered over seventy years ago by Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi Montalcini. At the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome, Prof. Antonio Chiaretti has started research that uses neurotrophins to treat brain damage in children who have suffered serious trauma.
