[CPM-SPIRE-L] Sad New about Alberto

[Massimo Melucci]

Dear colleagues:

I had the honour of working with Alberto here in Padova for some years. What learned with him and how it can be learned has been unique and full of his inimitable brand of humour. His rigour, vision and culture make his passing a great loss to Computer Science.

Condolences to Titti and Rosa.
