It includes biographies and a historical-scientific analysis of the main research topics investigated by world-renowned physicists such as Aldo Pontremoli, Giovanni Polvani, Giovanni Gentile Jr., Beppo Occhialini, and Piero Caldirola, highlighting their contributions to the development of Italian physics in a national and international context. Further, the book provides a historical perspective on the interplay of physics and politics in Italy during both the Fascist regime and the postwar reconstruction period, which led to the creation of the CISE (Centro Informazioni Studi Esperienze, a research center for applied nuclear physics, funded by private industries) in 1946, and of the Milan division of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) in 1951. 410 0$aHistory of Physics,$x2730-7557 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a530.071 676 $a530.071145211 700 $aGariboldi$b Leonardo$01241722 702 $aTesta$b Antonella 702 $aBonolis$b Luisa 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739472503321 996 $aThe Milan Institute of Physics$92997206 997 $aUNINA
