Stefano Consonni is the “Respighiano of the year 2024”. Professor of the Department of Energy of the Polytechnic of Milan and president of Leap, Laboratorio Energia Ambiente Piacenza, he received the recognition decreed, as per tradition, by the Friends of the “Lorenzo Respighi” State Scientific High School association.
“I remember my high school years with great joy and satisfaction – said Consonni on the occasion of the ceremony at the city high school in Barriera Genoa -, I think I was a decent student, even if a little restless and undisciplined. I recommend to today’s “Respighians” first of all that they commit themselves: they have the privilege of attending a school that has trained great personalities, that is well organized and thanks to which intellectual and cultural foundations are built, as well as affections and friendships, which will remain for the entire life”. During his career, Consonni was also pro-rector of the Piacenza branch of the Polytechnic: “In that period – he recalls – there was great enthusiasm, we are still on a growth trajectory that does us honor and brings a lot of satisfaction: Piacenza it is increasingly becoming a university city.” Finally, a memory of Franco Anelli, rector of the Catholic University suddenly passed away at the age of 60: “A figure of great prestige who had a great career, today a thought goes out to him and his family”.
During the ceremony, the “Eng. scholarship was also awarded. Mario Morandi” to student Veronica Rapacioli for the best results in individual and team mathematics competitions.
