Abstract :
This year, while the celebrations for the 125th anniversary of foundation of the IEEE are under way, the IEEE Italy Section will be celebrating its fiftieth anniversary year. Founded in 1959 as the Milan Section of the IRE, it then spread over the country and followed the evolution of the US based Institute with the merging of the IRE with the AIEE in 1963 and the creation of Regions, Societies and Chapters. This paper is the first attempt to outline a short history of IEEE Italy Section on the basis of the documentation currently available.
