“Technological and scientific wealth requires an open mind to be turned into a social and environmental opportunity too”
“Chemistry is often considered a ‘service’ science, something to be referred to only for a technical kind of contribution. My conviction has always been, however, that chemistry is a science of ‘knowledge’.” Luigi Campanella
