OTHER INFORMATIONS ABOUT LUCA SALASNICH

- Physics

I live in the center of the historical center of
Padova (Padua), a nice medieval University town in northern Italy.
Padova is the town where I was born, and I am quite
proud of being able to come-back to my home town
after many years of research activity in Madrid, Maribor and Milan.
Sometimes on holidays I visit my country house
in the
Euganean Hills.
The Euganean Hills, just 20 km from Padova and
visible from Venice, have been celebrated for their beauty,
peace and harmony by Percy Bysshe Shelley,
Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) and many other poets.
I like very much theoretical issues,
and so I spend a lot of time solving equations,
running numerical codes and writing papers.
Pre-university education
In addition, I received a (quite intense) catholic education at
Chiesa di S. Nicolo of Padova,
Basilica del Carmine of Padova, and
Jesuit Center Antonianum of Padova.
By the way,
a cousin of my mother Giovanna Cocchi
was Archbishop of Modena and Nonantola.
