MIB Trieste School of Management expresses its deepest condolences on the passing of one of Italy’s most influential figures in economics and management, who had been closely associated with MIB since its foundation.
MIB Trieste School of Management remembers Professor Riccardo Varaldo with deep respect and gratitude.
An internationally renowned economist and former Rector and President of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa, Professor Varaldo was one of Italy’s leading scholars in business economics and management, as well as a pioneer in introducing marketing as an academic discipline in Italian universities.
A rigorous scholar and a forward-thinking intellectual, he had a remarkable ability to understand and often anticipate major transformations in the Italian economy, from globalisation to technological innovation. His work made a lasting contribution to the development of management studies and to the education of generations of academics, professionals and managers.
Closely associated with MIB from its earliest days, he played a significant role in the foundation and development of our School.
The MIB community remembers him with gratitude for his academic authority, vision and personal qualities, and extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues and many students, who continue to carry forward his intellectual legacy.
