This book presents the first comprehensive and authoritative account of the history of physics in Italy's industrial and financial capital, spanning from the establishment of the University of Milan's Institute of Physics in 1924 to its relocation to its present location in the early 1960s. It features biographies of prominent physicists such as Aldo Pontremoli, Giovanni Polvani, Giovanni Gentile Jr., Beppo Occhialini, and Piero Caldirola, along with a historical-scientific analysis of their significant research topics. These physicists made substantial contributions to the advancement of Italian physics both nationally and internationally. Additionally, the book offers a historical perspective on the interplay of physics and politics in Italy during the Fascist regime and the postwar reconstruction period, which resulted in the establishment of the CISE (Centro Informazioni Studi Esperienze, a research center for applied nuclear physics funded by private industries) in 1946 and the Milan division of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) in 1951.
