    Bollettino U. M. I. (8)1-B (1998), 451-474 — GIUSEPPE TALLINI (1930-1995) La vita. Personalità scientifica dinamica e prorompente, "iuseppe Tallini verrà certamente ricordato nella storia della matematica di questo secolo per aver dato un impulso decisi- vo allo sviluppo della combinatoria in Italia, continuando insieme ad Adriano Barlotti a promuovere quella scuola di geometria combinatoria, fondata da Beniamino Segre, che , oggi una delle più affermate in campo internazionale. Fondamentali sono i suoi risultati riguardanti gli archi e le calotte in spazi di Galois, la caratterizzazione grafica di varietà algebriche notevoli, le strutture combinatorie d’in- cidenza (matroidi, spazi lineari e semilineari, spazi polari), la teoria dei disegni combina- tori e dei sistemi di *teiner e quella dei codici correttori. Grande ammiratore della cultura classica greco-romana, della cui visione della vita si sentiva profondamente partecipe, ha saputo coniugare una intensissima attività scienti- fica, che lo assorbiva &#asi freneticamente, a omenti di sapiente otium, nei quali si de- dicava preferibilmente a quelle letture di storia antica che egli prediligeva sopra ogni al- tre. Di temperamento naturalmente cordiale ed aperto, era dotato di )randissimo calore umano ed amava la vita in tutte le sue manifestazioni. Nel 1993 era stato colpito da una sclerosi laterale amiotrofica, che lo aveva paralizza- to e poi, negli ultimi mesi del 1994, reso afono. La malattia, che lo condurrà alla morte il 4 aprile 1995 e della cui gravità era consapevole, non ne ha mai fiaccato lo spirito, la luci- dità della mente, la capacità di comunicare idee matematiche. Con grande serenità aveva accettato la crescente enomazione fisica, continuando il lavoro di sempre, in ciò anche sostenuto dal premuroso affetto dei figli e della moglie, che gli è stata amorevolmente %i- cina con dedizione grandissima.

Timeline (cont.) • 1913 Emigration reaches highest point (more than 872,000 leave Italy). About 75% of the Italian popu- lation is illiterate and employed in agriculture. • 1914 Benito Mussolini is expelled from Socialist Party. • 1915 May: Italy enters WWI on the side of the Entente against the Central Powers. More than 650,000 Italian soldiers are killed (1915-1918). Economy is devastated, peace treaty disappointing. • 1921 January: Italian Communist Party founded in Livorno by Antonio Gramsci and other former Socialists. November: National Fascist Party founded in Rome by Mussolini. Strikes and social unrest lead to political in- stability. Timeline (cont.) • 1922 October: March on Rome.

  • Gaetano Fichera (1922-1996)
    GAETANO FICHERA (1922-1996) Ana Millán Gasca Pubblicato in Lettera dall'Italia, XI, 43-44, 1996, pp. 114-115. Lo scorso 1° giugno è morto a Roma il matematico Gaetano Fichera, professore decano dell'Università di Roma “La Sapienza”, accademico Linceo e uno dei XL dell'Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze. Nato ad Arcireale, in provincia di Catania, l'8 febbraio 1922, presso l'Università di Catania iniziò giovanissimo, nel 1937, i suoi studi universitari, che continuò poi presso l'Università di Roma, dove si laureò brillantemente in matematica nel 1941. Questi anni di formazione furono guidati dal padre, Giovanni, professore di matematica e fisica nelle scuole medie superiori. Appena laureato, poiché molti giovani assistenti di matematica erano sotto le armi, fu nominato assistente incaricato presso la cattedra di Mauro Picone; ma subito dopo dovette ritornare a Catania per curare una grave malattia. Nel 1942 si arruolò anch'egli, e le vicende della guerra lo tennero lontano fino alla primavera del 1945. Ottenuta la libera docenza nel 1948, fra il 1949 e il 1956 fu professore all'Università di Trieste. A Trieste era nata la futura moglie Matelda Colautti, che egli sposò nel 1952. Nel 1956 si trasferì all'Università di Roma, dove ricoprì dapprima la cattedra di analisi matematica e poi quella di analisi superiore. Nei suoi più di cinquant'anni di attività egli ha dato un grande contributo alla ricerca e all'insegnamento superiore della matematica in Italia ed in particolare a Roma, presso l'Istituto Matematico “Guido Castelnuovo”. I suoi lavori di matematica pura e applicata, a partire dai suoi noti contributi alla teoria matematica dell'elasticità, sono stati apprezzati dai colleghi di tutto il mondo.
