Giancarlo left us on April 8th, 2014. He has been a key reference point for students and collegues since long time, with his experience in hydrogeology and geochemistry and his will to help and support.

And, even more important, he has been a bright friend, always there in key phases of our life. We will always remember the time we spent together. Thanks Giancarlo, from our sons as well.
