Il pendolo di Foucault come ausilio didattico (Traduzione da Physics Education, vol. 26, n. 2, Marzo 1991, a cura di Salvatore D’Agostino)

The Foucault pendulum can be an excellent teaching aid. For example, it can be used to measure the latitude of the place you live in. This article shows how the students and the entire population of a small village were involved in a physics experiment and discusses some modifications to the original design for an updated repetition of the experiment.
