La Teoria corpuscolare della radiazione di Einstein: “Una audace ipotesi” utile a superare la contrapposizione tra continuità e discontinuità nella descrizione della realtà fisica.

This research intended to analyse Einstein’s paper on granular structure of radiation, more by the light of Einstein’s later writings. The following topics will be discussed the reasons for his quantum theory’s formulation and the connection between Planck’s radiation theory and Einstein’s ideas.
