title: In memory of Giovanni Berlinguer. The Man, the Scientist, the Politician.
abstract: On this occasion I am very grateful to the Academic Authorities for having asked me to illustrate the life of Giovanni Berlinguer as a Researcher, a Professor and a Doctor of Public Health. I will try to fulfill this duty, perhaps with some reservations, because I find it almost impossible to think of Giovanni as a researcher and a professor separately from his complex personality and his role as a politician and a brilliant and prolific writer. This is because Giovanni was an inextricable combination of all these roles, which cannot be described separately.
