Abstract: Proceedings of the 44th SISFA National Congress, held in Florence in September 2024, with the participation of about 90 Italian and international scholars. The congress explored the history of physics and astronomy, epistemology, scientific education, and the preservation of historical heritage, and featured four special sessions: From Information to Artificial Intelligence, tracing the evolution of communication, from Marconi to cybernetics and AI. From Quantum Statistics to Condensed Matter Physics, celebrating a century of Bose-Einstein statistics and its influence on modern physics. 1924–2024: Edwin Hubble and the Evolution of Modern Cosmology, revisiting Hubble’s breakthrough discovery and its lasting impact on astrophysics. 100 Years since the Birth of the University of Florence & In Memory of Giuseppe Occhialini, honoring the University’s centenary and Occhialini’s contributions to Italian physics.

This volume collects accurate studies exploring the evolution of scientific thought and the history of the sciences.
