On May 2, Professor Renato Alberto Meduri, the ophthalmologist who for decades directed scientific studies at the Clinic of St. Orsola Hospital and held the chair of ophthalmology at the University of Bologna, passed away, to the great sorrow of his family, his colleagues, and the entire population of Bologna.
In the 1990s, Professor Meduri supported our Institute in a critical and delicate stage of the renewal and introduction of new services being activated to satisfy many new needs.
Those years saw the launching of the low vision study and research center as well as the Anteros Museum of Ancient and Modern Painting. Prof. Meduri, with sensitivity and wide-ranging knowledge, contributed actively to these two services at our Institute. He supported our efforts to create and organize the new aids testing service for the visually impaired, helped us elaborate ideas and concepts that promoted the development of our Anteros Tactile Museum by collaborating on defining the scientific guidelines for the Museum’s services. We developed a relationship that always let us feel his affection and his closeness to our battles and to the evolution and growth of our activities and services.
In addition, for many of us those years created a profound relationship of mutual respect and affection that ensured constant dialog, thought, and analysis.
Dear Renato, everyone will miss you, and we, especially, will miss your respect and your contributions to research and knowledge. Many will also miss the profound relationship of respect and affection that bound us over many long years of collaboration.
To your family, our sincerest condolences, to you, our remembrance and pledge to continue the work which, with your help, we have undertaken to serve the blind and visually-impaired.
