Luigi Cremona (1830–1903) was one of the leading figures in Italian mathematics in the 19th century. He is also remembered for his commitment to education and the diffusion of mathematical culture in Italy. This paper presents the text of a lecture by Cremona about projective geometry, published in 1860 in a journal for teachers, the Effemeride della Pubblica istruzione, almost unknown until now.
