Suggestion to Italian Society of Physics to organize a Varenna's summer school dedicated to FQM. Realism, social responsibility and science. His moving to the University of Bari, and his research and career there. The role of local realism in physics. His interaction with Louis de Broglie, Jean-Pierre Vigier, and Emilio Santos. His argument on the loopholes of Bell's inequalities experiments. Proposal of experiments to test L. de Broglie's wave and particle duality. Conference on FQM in Bari in the early 1980's, with Karl Popper and Leonard Mandel in attendance. Experiments held by L.
