Περιγραφή
Περίληψη:Universality of the weak interactions is reviewed, with special emphasis on the origin of the Cabibbo theory of strange-particle β-decays and its role in the discovery of the unified Electroweak Theory. Achievements and present challenges of the Standard Theory of particles interactions are briefly illustrated. As a homage to Nicola Cabibbo, his leading role in the Roma school of theoretical physics and in the Italian science in general is reviewed.
