The paper focuses on a project aimed at communicating to non scientists the ’cultural essence’ of the Standard Model of Physics – one of the most advanced intellectual achievements of contemporary physics. The project is based on the hypothesis that the cultural essence can be reached and analysed through the exploration of the meaning of ’Symmetry’ in XX Century. The teaching actions designed so far are presented in the paper. Each action is addressed to a particular audience: general public, secondary school students and university students. Strategies adopted and problematic issues are discussed.

Abstract
The paper focuses on a project aimed at communicating to non scientists the ’cultural essence’ of the Standard Model of Physics – one of the most advanced intellectual achievements of contemporary physics. The project is based on the hypothesis that the cultural essence can be reached and analysed through the exploration of the meaning of ’Symmetry’ in XX Century. The teaching actions designed so far are presented in the paper. Each action is addressed to a particular audience: general public, secondary school students and university students. Strategies adopted and problematic issues are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
