As time passes, and the increasing number of editions of this Doctoral School organized by GMEE, we have realized that the participants, due to their young age, have not had the pleasure of knowing Italo Gorini, and so they can not know the reasons that led the GMEE to entitle him the school. In these few lines, we will try to describe briefly the figure.
Italo Gorini was Professor Extraordinary and subsequently Professor of Electrical Measurements at the Polytechnic of Turin from 1980 to 1993, the year in which disappeared prematurely. It was also so many other things, but this is not the place for a mere list of his academic qualifications, because it was not for these that the Graduate School was dedicated to him. He was a researcher refined, He always tried to discover the heart of the problem, and then illustrate it with the utmost rigor and with that extreme clarity that characterized also his way of teaching.
He Perfectly embodied the figure of measurer, combining attention to the cognitive theoretical and speculative aspects with an experimenter activities always ready to use and evaluate new technologies. One example: in the '70s was among the first to use television in teaching, made some footage to illustrate the experimental exercises of Electrical Measurements.
