We 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).

Abstract
We 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).File in questo prodotto:
