Abstract

Ten year after his death, the work of over 40 years of the Florentine mathematician Carlo Pucci (1925–2003) is presented in a book entitled Carlo Pucci tra scienza e impegno civile. Pucci worked untiringly to promote mathematical research and the culture of democracy in Italy. His intellectual genealogy is related on one hand to the great mathematical school of Enrico Betti, Ulisse Dini and Luigi Bianchi, through his first teacher, Giovanni Sansone; on the other hand it is related to the culture of democracy of the Italian Risorgimento: Pasquale Villari, Gaetano Salvemini and Ernesto Rossi. Pucci was president of the Committee of Mathematics of the Italian National Council for Research, President of the Italian National Institute of Higher Mathematics, President of the Union of Italian Mathematics, and full professor of mathematical analysis at the University of Florence.
