Gianni degli Antoni born Giovanni degli Antoni (1935 – 2016), generally known to those who worked with him simply as gda (lowercase), was an Italian information scientist, academic, and polymath, whose background was in physics and, later, computer science. He was one of the founders of computer science as an academic field in Italy, during a career at the Università degli Studi di Milano that ranged from student to assistant professor to dean. He played a behind-the-scenes role in the analysis of data in the Clean Hands investigation[1] spearheaded by Antonio Di Pietro[2] that marked Italy's transition from the First to Second Republic in the 1990s.
Academic life[edit]
As a student, degli Antoni pursued an interest in electronics to eventually major in statistical physics, at a time when computer science was not yet a recognized field in Italian universities.[3]
Career and Influence[edit]
At the Università degli Studi di Milano he founded three computer-science departments (now merged) from 1969 to 2001 and the CTU,[4] a support center for multimedia in learning, in 1975.[5]
His greatest impact came not through his academic publications but through his influence on the work of others, including many leading Italian computer scientists, and through his role in helping found key computer-science teaching and research initiatives in Italy and Switzerland. He deeply affected the lives of many of those who studied under him, for some of whom he became a legend.[6]
Awards and Honors[edit]
Honored by the Italian parliament [7] and by the United Nations,[8] he was also given the unusual honor of having a university department named after him at the Università degli Studi di Milano.[9]
