Men have always wanted to understand the world where they live, and they used all possible instruments to measure the space around and to increase their knowledge. Men had the possibilities to create some models of universe just when they had understood that it was possible to represent all natural processes by models. In old Greece, Naturalists understood sphericity of the Earth and its suspended position in space. The oldest globe is attributed by Strabo, historian and geographer, to Cratete from Mallo (about 150 B.C.). The first globes, in early XVI century, were made following up big geographical explorations and they were used for didactic uses in courts, monasteries and colleges; then globes were used also in universities and schools.
