I was introduced to condensed matter theory by prof. Mario P. Tosi and prof. Michele Parrinello who started research in this field at the University of Messina, with a focus on the physics of classical and quantum liquids, in the period 1969 – 1974. Some records on those exciting years can be found in:

• The early years of condensed matter theory in Messina
