[1] He earned his degree in Physics in 1940 from the University of Pisa as a student of the Scuola Normale Superiore, under the mentorship of Luigi Puccianti.
After the war, he became Puccianti's assistant at the Institute of Physics at the University of Pisa, marking the start of his academic career.
Gozzini's work soon gained international recognition, drawing the attention of physicists such as Charles Hard Townes, Nicolaas Bloembergen, and especially Alfred Kastler from Paris.
In 1970, he founded the Laboratory for the Study of the Physical Properties of Biomolecules and Cells within the university, later known as the Institute of Biophysics.
The following year, in 1971, he established the Laboratory of Atomic and Molecular Physics at the National Research Council (CNR) in Pisa, which evolved into the Institute for Chemical-Physical Processes.
