In memory of Giovanni Anania It is with deep sadness that we announce the untimely and sudden death of our friend and colleague Prof. Giovanni Anania on Wednesday, 15 July. Prof. Anania was one of the founders of the AIEAA and indeed one of its most active promoters. An assiduous researcher at the international level, Prof. Anania was also Full Professor at the University of Calabria (Italy) and President of the European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE). We remember him for his scientific commitment, his moral integrity and his extraordinary human qualities. The next issue of BAE will include a section with notes by colleagues in memory of Giovanni.
