The sudden death of Luca Serianni leaves us incredulous and saddened.
The Opera del Vocabolario Italiano contracted an enormous debt with him: his activity was decisive at the beginning of the drafting of the Tesoro della Lingua Italiana delle Origini and the dissemination to the public of the textual corpus of early Italian.
Since then (almost thirty years have passed) Serianni has not stopped showing us his appreciation, thus nourishing our confidence and the sense of being doing a useful and scientifically founded work.
Our gratitude is immeasurable, the sense of loss difficult to express.
