Description

Extraordinary association between nuclear physicists Fermi and Bruno

Physicist (1901–1954) who became the first to split the atom and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1938 for his developments in harnessing nuclear power. DS in Italian, one page, 8.25 x 11.5, June 4, 1937. Untranslated document concerning an award nomination for a member of the S.I.P.S. [The Italian Society for the Advancement of Science], Bruno Rossi, who later went on to become a prominent figure in the Manhattan Project. Signed at the conclusion by Enrico Fermi, Luigi Lombardi, and Antonio Carrelli. Overall toning and creasing and a couple small tears to upper edge, otherwise fine condition. In addition to Fermi, Lombardi and Carrelli were also scientists, and the content regarding an award for a fellow extremely influential physicist make this an excellent association piece.
