Vincenzo Fiorentini (Padova, Italy, 1960) is
associate professor of condensed matter physics at Cagliari University since 2001. He is
married with
physicist Paola Alippi and proud father of three terrific (occasionally, terrifying) kids, Isabella (28),
Beatrice (26), and Giovanni (17), a.k.a. Gio Cool, formerly known as "il Girino" (the tadpole; a few old photos are here).
He currently lives with Paola and Gio (Isa and Bea now live
on their own in Rome) in Berlin, Germany, where he moved to act as scientific counselor at the Italian Embassy. He is now senior Dresden fellow at TU Dresden, and on leave from his University position.
VF's siblings are Antonio, in the nautical business
(books, charts, equipment,transfer, skippering,...); Erna, professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology; Caterina, free-lance musician, teacher and -formerly- landscape geographer based in north-eastern Italy.
VF's mother Silvia, a physician by profession (now long retired), has recently won a poetry prize for minority languages, together with Caterina for her musical interpretation: details here on the
book,
the movie, the
record.
