Imagine mathematics imagine with the help of mathematics imagine new worlds new geometries
new forms. Imagine building mathematical models that make it possible to manage our world
better imagine solving great problems imagine new problems never before thought of imagine
combining music art poetry literature architecture theatre and cinema with mathematics.
Imagine the unpredictable and sometimes counterintuitive applications of mathematics in all
areas of human endeavour. This seventh volume starts with a homage to the Italian artist Mimmo
Paladino who created exclusively for the Venice Conference 2019 ten original and unique works
of art paper dedicated to the themes of the meeting. A large section is dedicated to the most
recent Fields Medals including a Homage to Maryam Mirzakhani including a presentation of the
exhibition on soap bubbles in art and science that took place in 2019. A section is dedicated
to cinema and theatre including the performances by Claire Bardainne & Adrien Mondot. A part of
the conference focused on the community of mathematicians their role in literature and even in
politics with the extraordinary example of Antanas Mockus Major of Bogotá. Mathematics in the
constructions of bridges in particular in Italy in the Sixties was presented by Tullia Iori. A
very particular contribution on Origami by a mathematician Marco Abate and an artist
Alessandro Beber. And many other topics. As usual the topics are treated in a way that is
rigorous but captivating detailed and full of evocations. This is an all-embracing look at the
world of mathematics and culture. The world life culture everything has changed in a few
weeks with the Coronavirus. Culture science are the main ways to safeguard people's physical
and social life. Trust in humanity's creativity and ability. The motto today in Italy is
Everything will be fine.This work is addressed to all those who have an interest in
Mathematics.
