In this chapter, I analyse the contingent conditions that led to a revival of the research in foundations of quantum mechanics (FQM) in Italy in the early 1970s. These were primarily the social-political struggles for change of the ’68 left-wing movements, which deeply involved young physicists. They criticized the structures of science, regarded science as yet another manifestation of the capitalistic character of modern society. They thus saw in FQM a natural starting point to dismantling the certainties of contemporary physics and thus opening new room for a radical change in the practices and contents of physics. While most of their scientific agenda turned out to be unattainable –such as the sought breakdown of quantum mechanics by means of Bell’s theorem– it is remarkable that a critical mass of Italian physicists became professionally active in the at that time almost forgotten field of FQM.
