Il perché delle cose #0x01



Molti di voi avranno già sentito l'espressione "fare il bilancio", ma avete mai pensato quale sia l'origine di questa locuzione?

Nel 1947 Luca Pacioli di Borgo San Sepolcro, in provincia di Arezzo, codificò un metodo di registrazione per transazioni economiche. Il metodo prevedeva l'utilizzo di due registri: nel primo si annotava la somma in negativo, nel secondo in positivo. I due registri venivano ovviamente gestiti da due persone diverse, ed alla fine del mese venivano "bilanciati", per verificare che non fossero l'eventuale presenza di frode.

Ora che avete scoperto questo fantastico aneddoto non vi resta che dire tutti insieme: "Ohhh... che storia!"
