Nel 2014, pochi mesi dopo il mio passaggio da ALICE ad ATLAS, vidi per la prima volta il mock-up di ATLAS, una riproduzione in scala reale in legno della porzione centrale dell’esperimento. 

It was in 2014, just a few months after my transition from ALICE to ATLAS, that I saw the mock-up for the first time: a full-scale wooden reproduction of the central portion of the ATLAS experiment, measuring some 8 metres high and wide.
