The via Panisperna boys were the young scientists led by Enrico Fermi who, in 1934 in Rome, made the famous discovery of slow neutrons that opened the way to the realization of the nuclear reactor and the atomic bomb.
In addition to Enrico Fermi, the other "boys" were: Edoardo Amaldi, Oscar D'Agostino, Ettore Majorana, Bruno Pontecorvo, Franco Rasetti and Emilio Segrè.
In the years following their famous experiment, after the dramatic events of those times (discrimination against the Jews during the late years of Fascism in Italy, then the Second World War), the group was dispersed and the majority of the via Panisperna boys emigrated from Italy.

In the experiments in the department in Via Panisperna, organized with very simple, often self-made laboratory tools and materials, Fermi and the "boys" discovered how to bombard heavy metals with nuclear particles.
On the other hand, Fermi, Segre (another of the "Panisperna boys") and Robert Oppenheimer (dubbed the "father" of the atomic bomb), viewed favourably the launch of the atomic bomb on Japan as they considered that there was no other way to make the Japanese authorities understand its distructiveness.

 CERN Courier - Enrico Fermi: genius and gia - IOP Publishing - article
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.
At the institute on the via Panisperna, a new collaboration began to take shape around Fermi and Rasetti at the beginning of 1927, as Corbino selected a group of promising young people.
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.

For the theoretic studies only, Ettore Majorana too took part in what was soon nicknamed the Group of "the Boys of via Panisperna" (by the name of the road in which the Institute had its labs - now in the Viminale complex, dicastery of police).
The group went on with its now famous experiments, but in 1933 Rasetti left Italy for Canada and United States, Pontecorvo went to France, Segré preferred to go teaching in Palermo.

The “via Panisperna boys” invented, sixty years ago, the so-called preprint, used to update reasonably quickly the main research laboratories abroad, on their progress in artificial radioactivity research.
All this possibly led them to be excluded from the “via Panisperna” cohesive group” [7].
