Naming of Aula A after Giuseppe Nardulli

On the 5th of April 2019, Aula A of the Physics Department at the University of Bari has been named after Giuseppe Nardulli.

Prof. Roberto Bellotti, Director of the Physics Department, has motivated the decision emphasizing that Beppe has not only been an esteemed scientist and beloved professor, but he was also committed to "bringing the Physics Department out of the University of Bari". Beppe has spread the work done inside the University both to the international academic community and to the society, organizing many international conferences, through his experience in USPID (Union of Scientists for Disarmament), taking part to the political and social life of the town, and organizing public meetings in which the point of view of a scientist could contribute to the debate.
