These pages are dedicated to the memory of the scientific figure of Carlo Poni, in particular by examining his essays related to the world of silk and collected in the volume La seta in Italia. The unifying element of these contributions and their connection with the other main fields of his commitment (research on agricultural issues and dissemination activities with the foundation of the Museo della civiltà contadina and the Museo del Patrimonio industriale di Bologna) was his constant methodological tension. Poni was a well-rounded historian, curious and critical scholar of what he defined as the Scienza del vissuto, which he practiced with extraordinary empathy; his lesson still has much to teach us.
