All’ombra del Cervo di Rodi: le memorie della Fisica a Napoli nella Mostra d’Oltremare

Abstract

In the area of the Mostra d'Oltremare in Naples, there are buildings (belonging to the original historical nucleus or post-war reconstruction) that urgently require restoration.Some of these buildings, for nearly fifty years, have been witnesses to a crucial period in the development and growth of the Naples School of Physics. Researchers, professors, students, and technical-administrative staff, along with distinguished Nobel Prize laureates and sophisticated equipment for international experiments, bear witness to an extraordinary past that must be preserved and enhanced. It is for this reason that the Association “All’Ombra del Cervo di Rodi” was established, with the aim of promoting initiatives that support the restoration and the enhancement of this heritage. This text is a tribute to memory, inevitably looking to the past, while never losing sight of the future, which we pursue with determination and commitment.
