The young Orso Mario, the second-born in the family, soon showed his talent and when he was only 9 his name was passed to the local bishop for being a very promising boy.
Leaving the high school Corbino enrolled to the University of Catania where he studied for only one year, as a friend of his convinced him to move to Palermo University, where, he said, he would find a better school.
Corbino was gifted with a terrific scientific intelligence which impressed anyone talking with him.

  US Bazaar.com : Encyclopedia Pages : Orso Mario Corbino
Orso Mario Corbino (30 April 1876, Augusta – 23 January 1937, Rome) was an Italian physicist and politician.
Noted for his studies of the influence of external magnetic fields on the motion of electrons in metals and discovered the Corbino effect.
Corbino worked with Damiano Macalusa where they discovered the Macalusa-Corbino effect, a strong magneto-rotation of the plane of polarization observed at wavelengths close to an absorption line of the material through which the light is travelling.

 Jekyll.comm - Article "Science Communication and the “via Panisperna boys”: the Role of Ettore Majorana"
These words were pronounced by Orso Mario Corbino, the mighty and brilliant director of the Physics Department of the University of Rome, located in via Panisperna.
In few years, Corbino created the best Italian school of physics: in 1926 Fermi was appointed to a chair in theoretical physics and, at the age of 25, he became the first professor of theoretical physics in Italy.
In the same period, Corbino enrolled among his students some promising men, whose passion and inclination towards physics and mathematics could not be completely satisfied by a degree in engineering.

 CERN Courier - Enrico Fermi: genius and gia - IOP Publishing - article
Corbino succeeded in obtaining a scholarship for Fermi, which Fermi then used to finance a six-month stay in 1923 at Max Born's school in Göttingen.
In 1926 Corbino established a competitive chair of theoretical physics in Rome (the first of its kind in Italy), as a result of which Fermi gained a professorship at the institute in the via Panisperna at the age of 25.
By the end of the 1920s the "via Panisperna boys" switched from studying atomic and molecular spectroscopy to investigating the properties of the atomic nucleus - described by Corbino in a celebrated 1929 speech as the new frontier of physics.

 CNR - Institute of Acoustics "O. M. Corbino"
The Institute was originally named "Istituto Nazionale di Elettro-Acustica" (INEA, National Institute of Electro-Acoustics), and was located inside the Istitute of Physics in Rome, via Panisperna.
Senator Orso Mario Corbino, who previously had been Director of the Istitute of Physics when Enrico Fermi worked there, was appointed as INEA's first director.
Corbino died only few months later, on 23 january 1937, and the Institute was named after him with an inaugural event that took place in via Panisperna on 30 april 1939.
