The origin of multiple stellar populations (MPs) in globular clusters (GCs) is one of the most puzzling issues of stellar astrophysics. Several attempts to understand their formation have been done both from observational and theoretical studies, but, so far, a clear picture is still lacking. By means of 3D hydrodynamic simulations, we explore the very early stages of GC formation studying the interplay between various physical ingredients like stellar feedback, gravity and cluster rotation on the formation of MPs. In this talk, I will discuss how these processes affect the formation, the chemical composition and the dynamical features of new stars, comparing, when possible, the results with the observations.
