Maurizio De Rosa, a dear colleague and friend, a remarkable individual and accomplished researcher, departed from us prematurely a few months ago.

His untimely departure has left an irreplaceable void within the Naples branch of the CNR-INO, a branch that he played a pivotal role in establishing as its leader during its early days.

A meeting took place on December 1, 2023, at the newly inaugurated laboratories’ headquarters in Naples. This event provided an opportunity for Maurizio’s family members to meet with their colleagues and all those who wish to pay their respects. During this occasion, a plaque was unveiled in his honor, a testament to the lasting impact he had on the section.
