Deep satisfaction for Carlo Rubbia's appointment as senator for life of the Italian Republic

 

The management and staff of the Elettra International Research Centre express great satisfaction for the appointment of Professor Carlo Rubbia as senator for life of the Italian Republic. As Chairman of the Elettra - Sincrotrone Trieste SCpA from 1986 to 1994, Rubbia played a decisive role in the construction of the Synchrotron light Laboratory and in the growth of its scientific standing at an international level.

Great appreciation was thus voiced for the initiative of President Napolitano, who has appointed four eminent personalities of the Italian cultural and scientific world to this distinguished constitutional role: an unmistakeable message of hope and confidence for the nation as a whole.
