Fernando Sansò Laudation

Abstract

You must know that in the last century the chairs of the Italian University Prof were loaded with dust because the Italian Prof was always away: chairing meetings, attending symposia, going to the capital city to seek subsidies for the research of his group, or attending the faculty meeting; some, as Marussi and Desio, went in scientific expeditions loaded with curiosity and of risk for their lives, I never heard that they had an insurance for this. The Profs were very rarely on their chair.
