Thanks to the discovery and analysis of letters exchanged between the Italian mathematicians Enrico Betti and Giovanni Novi, we have been able to reconstruct the scientific activity of Novi, that until recently was not well known. Novi contributed to renovating the teaching of geometry in the period immediately preceding the Italian Unification by translating and integrating foreign mathematical treatises. In particular, in 1858, he published a translation of the French textbook by Antoine Amiot Leçons nouvelles de géométrie élémentaire. This translation was greatly appreciated because Novi integrated the treatise with originalcontributions on projective geometry. After careful analysis of his text, we conclude that it can be considered an anticipation of what will become the most popular Italian texts aiming at connecting the teaching of geometry with the scientific research on the relations between pure mathematics and its applications. We contextualize this operation in the historical context in which famous Italian mathematicians worked.
