Eugenio Levi and his scientific production: a note on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his death

In 1969 Eugenio Levi, both a great scholar and a great man, disappeared. He only was 55. Levi taught Financial Mathematics in Turin, Catania, Parma Universities and at Bocconi University in Milan. All of his former students still lively recall him as an excellent and stimulating teacher. His scientific activity regarded several subjects, from classical problems in Financial and Actuarial Mathematics to topics in Mathematical Economics, Operations Research and Decision Theory. He often managed to bring innovation in the Italian state -of-the-art in research, arousing interests which still are well alive in our Applied Mathematics school.
