Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
Carlo Rovelli, born in 1956 in Verona, Italy, is one of the world’s most influential theoretical physicists and science writers. Raised in the city of Verona, he attended the Liceo Classico Scipione Maffei. During his youth in the 1970s, Rovelli took an active role in Italy’s countercultural and political movements, co-founding free radio stations such as Radio Alice in Bologna and Radio Anguana in Verona, and co-authoring a book on student activism. These formative experiences, combined with a keen curiosity about the nature of reality, prompted Rovelli to pursue studies in physics at the University of Bologna, where he earned his BS/MS in 1981, followed by a PhD from the University of Padova in 1986.
