  Emilio Segre
Emilio Segrè (1905-1989) was born near Rome, Italy.
In his later years Segrè turned himself into a first-class historian of physics; his historical surveys, From X-Rays to Quarks: Modern Physicists and Their Discoveries and From Falling Bodies to Radio Waves: Classical Physicists and Their Discoveries and his biography Enrico Fermi: Physicist are widely used.
He collected photos to illustrate these books, and was an avid photographer himself; his pictures are one of the highlights of the Emilio Segrè Visual Archives.

 Emilio Segré - Best of Sicily Magazine
While the Segrés were accepted by Palermo society, it was the era of Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, and also a period of increasing antipathy toward the country's non-conformist population, which included Jews, various intellectuals, certain writers and artists, and even a musician or two (Arturo Toscanini comes to mind).
As part of this expansion, Segré's contemporary (and a former student of Fermi), the eccentric, Catanian-born Ettore Majorana, then a professor at the University of Naples, was appointed to a physics post at the University of Palermo, but died of an apparent suicide before actually assuming it.
Emilio Segré had first visited the United States in 1933, when he assisted Enrico Fermi in a summer course in theoretical physics at the University of Michigan.

 Emilio Segrè
Segrè was appointed assistant professor of physics at the University of Rome in 1932 and served until 1936.
After careful chemical and theoretical analysis, Segrè was able to prove that some of the radiation was being produced by a previously unknown element, dubbed technetium, and was the first artificially synthesized chemical element which does not occur in nature.
While Segrè on what was to be a summer visit to California in 1938, Mussolini's Fascist government passed anti-Semitic laws barring Jews from university positions.

Emilio Segré was born in Tivoli, Rome, on February 1, 1905.
After careful chemical and theoretical analysis, Segré was able to prove that some of the radiation was being produced by a previously unknown element, dubbed technetium, and was the first artificially synthesized chemical element that does not occur in nature.
Also in 1944, Segré became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. Upon his return to Berkeley in 1946, he became a professor of physics, serving until 1972.

Segre's early research in nuclear decay led to patented isotopes and filled in several places on the periodic table; later he was on Robert Oppenheimer's team at the Los Alamos nuclear test site.
Segrè was one of the first to join Oppenheimer at Los Alamos, where he became a group leader on the Manhattan Project.
Segrè writes movingly of the personal devastation wrought by the Nazis, his struggles with fellow scientists, and his love of nature.

 Emilio Segrè: nuclear pioneer (February 2005) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
On the centenary of his birth, Emilio Segrè is remembered for his discovery of the antiproton and several chemical elements, not to mention his knack of bringing physics to life
This is how Emilio Segrè described the birth of the atomic age on 15 July 1945.
Segrè could not recall what they said to each other at the time, but he remembered that Fermi got up almost immediately and began dropping small scraps of paper to estimate the intensity of the explosion by measuring how far the scraps were moved by the shock wave.
