Alberto was a man of many talents, very sad news indeed.

Let him rest in peace, Leszek

It's very sad to hear of Alberto's passing.
My thoughts are with his family and on knowing him over almost 40 years.

Dear Friends,

Today is a hard day for our community. One of the founders of combinatorial pattern matching passed away last night.
See Raffaele's message below.

Our hearts are with Titti and Rosa.

Subject: Sad New about Alberto




Dear Friend,

last night here in Lipari Alberto had a massive hearth attach. He is no longer with us.
His family, I and a few other friends here are in a sort of vacuum.
The only rather grim consolation is that, laying on his bed, he was the image of peace.

Please share the  sad news  with the scientific community. I have contacted all Italian Universities in which Alberto has worked.

His funeral will be in Salerno, where his wife and daughter have decided he should rest in piece.

I will give you more news as I get them.

Sadly,

Raffaele
