In memory of Ettorina Montisci

Cagliari FestivalScienza, ScienzaSocietàScienza

We bid farewell with regret and affectionate friendship to our dear Ettorina Montisci, one of the founding members of ScienzaSocietàScienza and already a member, for several mandates, of the board of directors of our association. Always active and collaborative, she has, in particular, enabled close collaboration with the Pacinotti Scientific High School, the school where she taught until she retired. Member and deputy secretary of the AIF Section of Cagliari, she carried out intense laboratory and liaison activity with all the members, which allowed her, at the birth of ScienzaSocietàScienza, to make an important contribution in choosing the topics for the Physics laboratories, in solicit the participation of Pacinotti students, in collaborating on their preparation, in stimulating other teaching colleagues to continue in this activity.

She was the provincial manager of the Mathematics Olympics and, on behalf of the A.I.F. national, regional manager of the Physics Olympics for which she also worked as a trainer of the participating students.

The president, the honorary president, all the directors of ScienzaSocietàScienza and the heartbroken members who have worked with Ettorina over the years participate with pain in the mourning of her family.
