Passing away of Prof. Angelo Farina

Mon 24 Mar 2025 , by Arianna Astolfi

With deep sorrow, I share the news of the passing of Angelo Farina, colleague at the University of Parma and, above all, a friend, mentor, and point of reference for many of us.

Angelo was a pioneer in numerous areas of research, particularly in the field of Applied Acoustics, achieving the highest international recognition. In 2024, he was awarded the prestigious Silver Medal by the Audio Engineering Society, a testament to the significance of his scientific contributions.

On behalf of the entire EAA Executive Board, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and offer a warm thought to all those who had the good fortune to know him and share part of their journey—both scientific and human—by his side.
