The diffusion of quantum theory and quantum mechanics in Italy (1900-1947)
No full textWe examine the limited reception of quantum theory in Italy until
1925 and the evolution determined by the rise of quantum mechanics (1925)
and by the establishment of the first (1926) and second (1937) university
chairs of theoretical physics. A detailed analysis of the introduction of theoretical physics in all Italian universities between 1927 and 1938 is presented,
specifying the teachers and the content of the courses. A detailed paper about
this historical analysis has been submitted by the authors for publication in
the European Physics Journal – H (La Rana, Rossi 2020-21)
La genealogia accademica di Enrico Fermi
No full textThe history and main scientific features of the three main schools of physics operating in Italian Universities in the (Pisa, Rome and Turin) in the XIX century are briefly sketched, showing the role played by the local masters (Felici, Blaserna and Naccari) and by their most important students (Roiti, Bartoli and Stracciati, Macaluso and Corbino, Battelli and Puccianti). The different contributions given by all these teachers to the scientific formation of Enrico Fermi are discusse
