Abstract
I will concentrate my attention on the so called Dynamical Reduction Program (DRP) some aspects of which deserve to be stressed. In particular I will mention some relatively recent results on the subject which are probably not familiar to the audience and I will focus on some crucial points which remain open and have to be faced before the program itself can be considered as a satisfactory and exact (in J.S. Bell’s sense [1] alternative to the so-called orthodox interpretation.
