Museo Galileo expresses its deepest condolences on the passing of Professor Paolo Galluzzi, distinguished historian of science and a cornerstone in the history of our institution, which he led for decades with extraordinary vision, passion, and scientific rigor.
Through his tireless commitment to research and innovation, the Museum grew into an internationally renowned centre for the history of science and for the studies on Galileo and Leonardo. In 2026, he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Italian Society for the History of Science (SISS) in recognition of his exceptional contribution to the dissemination of scientific culture and the advancement of historical-scientific studies both in Italy and internationally.
For this remarkable body of scientific, institutional, museological, and cultural contributions, Prof. Galluzzi stood as one of the most authoritative and influential figures in the field worldwide, masterfully combining rigorous scholarship, preservation, and public outreach with civil and cultural commitment of peerless significance.
The entire community of Museo Galileo extends its heartfelt sympathy to his family, honoring with lasting gratitude his profound intellectual and human legacy.
