Abstract: This volume contains the Proceedings of the 43rd Congress of the Italian Society of Historians of Physics and Astronomy (SISFA), held in Padua in September 2023 and attended by over 100 Italian and foreign historians of science. The Congress covered a wide range of topics, ranging from the 18th-20th centuries history of physics and astronomy, to epistemology, dialogue between history and education, and issues related to the management and preservation of the historical heritage. There were three special sessions: Copernicus’ Changeover From the Old to the New Cosmos, on the occasion of the 550th anniversary of the birth of Copernicus; “The Assayer” and the Birth of Modern Science, on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the publication of The Assayer; and Giuliano Romano, to commemorate this important scholar and his contribution to astronomical science and the history of astronomy, 100 years after his birth and 10 years after his death.
