Former President of the European Physical Society and former President of the Italian Physical Society (SIF, 1981 - 1998), Prof. Renato Angelo Ricci had also led the preparations for merging parts of Il Nuovo Cimento into the newly launched EPJ during his final years as SIF president [II Nuovo Cimento: Historical Recollection]. In 1999 he then became (together with the late Prof. Andrea Taroni) a member of the newly formed EPJ Steering Committee, a role which he fulfilled with much dedication until his retirement from committee work in October of 2005, while remaining always interested in the further development of the EPJ journals.

Prof. Renato Ricci passed away on December 5, 2025.
