This book§is the product of a conference held in Turin, Italy, to commemorate the 150th§birthday of Corrado Segre.§§Including§both survey articles and original research papers, the book is divided into two§parts: section one focuses on the implications of Segre's work in a historic§light, while section two presents new results in his field, namely Algebraic Geometry.§§One of the§book's most unique features is a previously unpublished manuscript by Corrado§Segre, which is included here in an original reproduction and commented§on. Representing a prelude to Segre's§seminal 1894 contribution on the theory of algebraic curves, it and other§important archival sources included in the essays shed new light on the eminent§role he played at the international level. Given Segre's widely recognized§status as one of the founders of the Italian School of Algebraic Geometry and§as a crucial figure in the history of Algebraic Geometry, this volume will§appeal to scholars in the History of Mathematics, as well as to researchers in§the current subfields of Algebraic Geometry.§
