PART III
GIULIO NATTA AND THE SCIENTIFIC, ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL WORLD
Introduction
In addition to the scientific publications and a part of the patents, the documents kept at the Institute of Industrial Chemistry of the Polytechnic (now a section of the "Giulio Natta" Department of Chemistry, Materials Science and Chemical Engineering) were contained in 163 binders, files and folders (some tens of thousands of sheets) which essentially cover the period from 1950 to 1970.
The impressive nature and magnitude of this collection of papers inspires awe and astonishment.
- Italian and foreign scientific figures, including several Nobel Laureates (not only through correspondence, but also through reciprocal visits and family invitations, in which his wife Rosita played an indispensable role):
- executives of various major global companies, to discuss research and the granting of licences, here again with visits and invitations;
- practically all the divisions of Montecatini/Montecatini-Edison in which studies and research were also conducted under his supervision;
- the Chief Executive Officer of Montecatini, Piero Giustiniani, on a wide range of topics;

- Montecatini's foreign agency;
- the CNR;

Karl Ziegler
German chemist (1898–1973)
This article is about the German chemist. For the operatic tenor, see Karl Ziegler (tenor).
Karl Waldemar Ziegler (German:[kaːʁlˈvaldəˌmaʁˈt͡siːɡlɐ]; 26 November 1898 – 12 August 1973) was a Germanchemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1963, with Giulio Natta, for work on polymers. The Nobel Committee recognized his "excellent work on organometallic compounds [which]...led to new polymerization reactions and ... paved the way for new and highly useful industrial processes".[1] He is also known for his work involving free-radicals, many-membered rings, and organometallic compounds, as well as the development of Ziegler–Natta catalyst. One of many awards Ziegler received was the Werner von Siemens Ring in 1960 jointly with Otto Bayer and Walter Reppe, for expanding the scientific knowledge of and the technical development of new synthetic materials.[2]
