Abstract

The Institute of Physics of the Royal University of Milan dealt with aparticular case of the application of the 1938 racial laws: the suspension of a scho-larship named after the physicist Aldo Pontremoli, a member of a distinguishedItalian Jewish family. The scholarship was established after his disappearanceduring the 1928 polar expedition. As an episode of the vast set of tragic eventsthat struck the Italian Jewish community, the suspension of the “Aldo Pontre-moli” scholarship allows us to analyse the context of the impact of the Fascistregime on the life of the Institute of Physics and of the Faculty of Sciences of theRoyal University of Milan, a subject so far not addressed by historiography.
