Abstract

Ninety years of X-ray spectroscopy research in Italy, from the X-rays discovery (1896), and the Fermi group theoretical research (1922-1938) to the Synchrotron Radiation research in Frascati from 1963 to 1986 are here summarized showing a coherent scientific evolution which has evolved into the actual multidisciplinary research on complex phases of condensed matter with synchrotron radiation.
