Quadraturismo

Quadraturismo is a mathematical pursuit focused on constructing squares that have the same area as given geometric shapes using only compass and straightedge. Historically significant in classical geometry, it involves solving problems like quadrature of curves—determining whether a curve can be squared—that connect to the ancient quest of squaring the circle. While some shapes' areas can be duplicated with these tools, others cannot, revealing limitations of geometric construction methods. Overall, quadraturismo explores the principles and possibilities of area construction within the framework of Euclidean geometry.
