The evolution of the conception of motion as composed by circular uniform motions is analyzed, stressing its continuity from antiquity to our days.

Viene analizzata l’evoluzione della nozione di movimento come composto da movimenti circolari uniformi, mettendo in evidenza la sua continuità dall’antichità ad oggi.
