The paper aims at reconstructing the scientific career of Adriano Buzzati-Traverso, a prominent character in Italian biology after the Second World War. In the Fifties and the Sixties, he was able to introduce the new molecular approaches in life sciences. A great scientific manager, much ahead of his times (at least in Italy), he successfully organized the first postgraduate courses of genetics and molecular biology in Pavia, and later created the International Laboratory of Genetics and Biophysics in Naples. Between 1962 and 1969, this institution gained the greatest respect in the scientific community, but the political turmoil in 1969 abruptly ended this fascinating attempt to modernize Italian science. Buzzati-Traverso's personal archive allows us to reconstruct the detailed history of his scientific enterprises, focusing particularly on the hard struggle to modernize management and policies of Italian science.
本文旨在重构阿德里亚诺·布扎蒂 - 特拉韦尔索的科学职业生涯，他是二战后意大利生物学界的杰出人物。在五六十年代，他成功将新的分子方法引入生命科学领域。作为一位极具前瞻性的伟大科学管理者（至少在意大利是如此），他在帕维亚成功组织了首批遗传学和分子生物学研究生课程，随后在那不勒斯创建了国际遗传学和生物物理实验室。1962年至1969年间，该机构在科学界赢得了极高的声誉，但1969年的政治动荡突然终结了这场使意大利科学现代化的迷人尝试。布扎蒂 - 特拉韦尔索的个人档案让我们得以重构其科学事业的详细历史，尤其聚焦于使意大利科学管理和政策现代化的艰难斗争。
