| Abstract: |
This is inevitably a very personal and perhaps even biased account of the
work of Prof. Egidio Landi Degl'Innocenti, during his nearly 45
years long scientific career, in the field of polarimetry as it applies
to the investigation of solar processes, as well as in the broader context
of astrophysics. Despite the breadth of Egidio's contributions to
scientific research and teaching, I will not be providing (nor would I
have been able to) a complete account of his work. I instead made the
choice to emphasize Egidio's style in approaching new science challenges
as well as revisiting older problems. This style is first of all a product
of both personal discipline and deeply rooted curiosity, but also a legacy
of the cultural and academic ambient where Egidio spent his formative years,
that is, Florence and its University. |
