Ligabue Magazine 51

Second semester 2007
Year XXVI

We have followed each other along various paths around the world and often met up again here in Venice. Almost as ifto take time off in the city from those steps lost in the silence of geographical spaces. The person in question is Alberto Angela. Between us is a divide of over half a century, spent exploring and pursuing interests in search of the origins of man and life on Earth. Together we often wandered aimlessly, where borders became limes, driven by our restless nature as researchers.

Alberto is an ideal travelling companion and we have shared the quest far knowledge, often coming across paths taking us into the unknown in at times random unique explorations verging on serenclipity. Aware of this different approach, we have experienced moments in a kaleidoscoping of time and space, generating legends, myths and realities of scientific knowledge in the play of chance and necessity. These are our favourite topics and themes, typical of invaluable publications like Ligabue Magazine. The encounter with new experiences and the spirit of a different generation, like that of Alberto, fuels the desire for knowledge, pursued by exploring the hidden corners of our prehistory. Our ambitions forged in the work sites of exploration have been invaluable sources of inspiration. Stories become metropolitan legends as we investigate what is left of the unknown world- stories that come into being and are revealed by pursuing the secrets
of knowledge. At times there have been close encounters with evanescent peoples and tribes in the shade o f a forest or in a scorching desert, where their fate has already been decided.

Buon Voyage Alberto!

Three years ago Viviano Domenici, a well-known science correspondent, took over as editor of the Ligabue Magazine. Unfortunately his commitments have prevented him from continuing as he would have liked to. In the meantime the magazine has become increasingly popular, thanks also to his work and the choice of subjects we have featured.
They have ranged from the artistic geniuses of Leonardo da Vinci and Antonio Canova to archaeological discoveries from the Ancient Far East and in South America, reports on peoples threatened with extinction, the great geographical and space explorations, the life of animals and plants, and the latest developments in evolution. Viviano’s place has been taken by a well-known name in the field of television science journalism – Alberto Angela. He too is a close friend whom I had the pleasure of accompanying in the early days of his career in missions promoted by the Study Centre: the search for the lost army of King Cambise in the Libyan desert back in 1982, a mission in search of traces of Homo habilis (from 2 million years ago) in 1986, excavations in Oman (1989), the study of the Hadza people in Tanzania (1990), an encounter with the last Papuans, and the celebrated discovery of armoured dinosaur remains in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia (1991). These are the stages in a long-standing collaboration that has now been renewed and strengthened as Alberto takes on the role of editor with great enthusiasm and professionalism.
