Michel 11, 15121, Alessandria, Italy aut X-ray crystallography in Italy: from the early steps to the present days [Elektronische Daten] [Davide Viterbo] In Italy, the first crystallographic studies using X-ray diffraction were carried out in Milano in 1923, 11years after Laue's discovery. Until World War II the technique was used by a limited number of researchers in a few academic sites. Only at the end of the 1950s and early 1960s the growth process started, also thanks to the relevant interest and support by the National Research Council. The birth of the Italian Crystallographic Association in 1967 signed an important development step, which further promoted the expansion of the crystallographic diffraction methodologies and their applications to Chemistry, Mineralogy, Physics, Biology and Materials Science. In the following years, new laboratories, with up to date equipments, were created in several universities and research centers, important international collaborations were established, international congresses and schools were held in Italy, a synchrotron radiation source was built in Trieste, new innovative methodologies were developed to extend the fields of application of diffraction techniques and Italian Crystallography has acquired a solid reputation at the international level.
