“Scientific culture is a fundamental part of national culture. I believe his human and professional life, as an academic and researcher, constitutes a great example for the young generations.” With these words the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano welcomed on January 12, at the headquarters of the Ministry, the Nobel Prize for Physics, Professor Giorgio Parisi. In an interview, the minister and the Nobel laureate discussed joint projects, including the republishing of all the works of Galileo Galilei to promote and expand scientific knowledge in the nation. During the meeting, particular attention was paid to projects of scientific culture for young people. From 2018 to 2021 Parisi was President of the Accademia dei Lincei. In 2021 he was awarded the prestigious Wolf Prize for Physics and was included in the ranking of the Clarivate Citation Laureates, which includes researchers whose scientific publications are among the most cited in the world. That same year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery of the interaction between disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from the atomic to the planetary scale".
