Summary/Abstract: Ludwik Silberstein (1872–1948) was the Polish–American scientist who worked in many branches of physics, but he is remembered mainly due to his work in general relativity. We present the influence of Ludwik Silberstein when staying as libero docente (in Italy until 1970, private docentship) in Bologna and Rome Universities (1899–1904, 1904–1920 respectively) on his scientific development and further career.
