Fermi’s greatness, his extraordinary figure as a master and giant of 20th century physics, his formidable scientific achievements, the result of an exceptional creative mind ‘in balance’ between theories and experiments, are effectively illustrated within the path museum The scientific legacy of Enrico Fermi.
the visitor can immerse themselves in this engaging and exciting ‘adventure’ by combining traditional objects and panels with modern multimedia technologies in an innovative way, from graphic displays to interactive panels, from touch screens to holographic and holographic ones.
The monumental complex of Via Panisperna is an integral part of this route, with the ‘fountain of goldfish’ – aqua fontis – where it is said that Fermi and his group carried out experiments on the slowing down of neutrons; the staircase at the entrance, immortalized in 1931 on the occasion of the first international congress of nuclear physics; the monumental internal staircase and the corridors on the first floor, where the ‘Corbino’s boys’ ran between the irradiation of one element and the other, with Fermi always in the lead!
The museum collects the scientific legacy of Enrico Fermi and his fantastic group. It is a journey that, through about ten significant 'stages', traces the life and scientific discoveries of Fermi, from Rome to America.
In this way, visitors can immerse themselves in an engaging and exciting adventure, combining in an innovative way traditional objects and panels with modern multimedia technologies, from graphic displays to interactive panels, from touch screens to holographic ones.
In addition to this itinerary, there is the monumental complex of via Panisperna, with "the goldfish fountain" - aqua fontis - where it is said that Fermi and his group carried out their experiments on slowing down neutrons; the staircase at the entrance, immortalized in 1931 on the occasion of the first international congress of nuclear physics; the monumental internal staircase and the corridors on the second floor, where the 'Corbino boys' ran between the irradiation of one element and another, with Fermi always in the lead!
Here is the museum, which will now also see a work of renovation and modernization with the new direction!
Working on. Stay tuned!

DI FERMI
At the end of 2019 the “Enrico Fermi” Historical Museum of Physics and Study and Research Center finally came into possession of the historic monumental complex in via Panisperna, completely restored, as the definitive seat for its activities. The complex, inaugurated in 1881, was entirely designed by the physicist from Gorizia Pietro Blaserna (1836-1918), who also supervised its total construction, to house the Royal Institute of Physics.
