Nuovo Cimento is a series of peer-reviewed scientific journals of physics. The series was first established in 1855 in Pisa, Italy, when Carlo Matteucci and Raffaele Piria started publishing Il Nuovo Cimento as the continuation of Il Cimento, which they founded in 1844. In 1897, it became the official journal of the Italian Physical Society, becoming one of the most influential Italian journals of science. Over time, the journal split into several sub-journals.
