Starting from a brief historical background, ideas and concepts for Italian payloads development for Columbus are reported. Ongoing efforts of precursor missions proposals analysis and future activities are also briefly depicted. These include a microgravity program to define the first steps necessary for future payload building. The following facilities are outlined: boiling; two phase; combustion; fluidized bed. The expectation for the future is to continue in the development of the instruments and facilities depicted in order to be able to allocate part of them for the beginning of the Columbus space station operations.
