Theyear2007willbethecentenaryofthebirthofGiuseppe(Beppo)Occhialini. After about twenty-?ve years spent between England, Brazil and Belgium, in 1950 Occhialini returned to Italy. The following year, 1951, after a short period in Genoa, he won the chair of Modern Physics (Fisica Superiore) at the Universit` a degli Studi in Milan. At that time Occhialini was well known. His standing as a scientist on the inter- tional scene is evident in the photograph of the invited participants at the 1948 Solvay Conference. Occhialini remained in Milan up to his retirement in 1983. In 1951, his arrival gave new impetus to signi?cant research activities. The advances in this research rapidly spread throughout Italy and Europe and produced important scienti?c results in elementary particle physics, space physics and astrophysics. In particular through his continuous e?orts Occhialini contributed to the rejuvenation of Italian physics and astrophysics. He worked to build new research structures and to create the necessary support for the birth of space activities in Italy and in Europe.
