In Memoriam

It is with great sadness that ICTP announces the passing of Adriano Lucatello, head of the Personnel Office, who died on 19 October after a long battle with cancer. Adriano had been at ICTP since 1983. Starting first at the reception of the Galileo Guesthouse, Adriano then performed finance duties for external activities, moving in 1996 to the Personnel Office.

Adriano was actively involved in ICTP's Fund for Hunger, which was established by Abdus Salam in 1984 and is supported by monthly staff contributions. He initiated a water project in Kenya, and personally visited the site several times over the years.

A rememberance of Adriano is available on the Fund for Hunger website.
