Luciano Bertocchi and Gallieno Denardo, two long-time employees of the ICTP who have played keyed roles in the Centre's success, retired at the end of October. Bertocchi has been involved with the Centre from its earliest days. He served as ICTP's Deputy Director since 1983 and was ICTP's Acting Director between January 1994 and May 1995. Denardo joined the ICTP in the early 1980s. Since 1985, he spearheaded ICTP research and training activities related to lasers and optics. For the past decade, he also headed the ICTP's Office of External Activities. Bertocchi and Denardo plan a busy retirement. Both will continue to teach at the University of Trieste and both will remain active with the ICTP: Bertocchi has agreed to serve as the scientific supervisor of the ICTP library and coordinator of the ICTP training program. Denardo will remain at the Centre to advise the Office of External Activities.
