Carlo Pucci
Carlo Pucci (born August 3, 1925 in Florence , † January 10, 2003 ) was an Italian mathematician who dealt with analysis.
Pucci began his engineering studies in Florence in 1943 and went underground when he was about to be drafted (he was already a convinced anti-fascist through his uncle). In 1945 he volunteered after the liberation of Florence and fought on the side of the Allies in Ravenna and Ferrara. After the war he studied mathematics in Florence and received his laureate in 1949 from Giovanni Sansone . Then he was assistant to Mauro Picone in Rome and dealt with partial differential equations. After studying at the University of Maryland , he was at the Institute for Higher Mathematics (Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica) in Rome. He won the competition for the chair in analysis at the University of Catania and then taught in Genoa and finally in Florence. From 1985 to 1996 he was President of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica.
From 1977 to 1983 he was President of the Unione Matematica Italiana and from 1995 its Honorary President. From 1972 to 1975 he was the National Committee for Mathematics of the Italian Research Council (Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche, CNR). In 1974 he was the founder and until 1998 director of the Institute for Global Analysis and Applications of the CNR.
