Abstract
The mathematician Fabio Conforto (1909–1954) played a significant role in the framework of the historical research about the Italian school of algebraic geometry in the decades before, during, and after WWII. The 1930s of the twentieth century represent the year of Conforto’s scientific maturation. During the 1940s, Conforto, besides the difficult war experience, achieves his national and international success. He was professor of analytical and descriptive geometry at the University of Rome, he kept lectures at INdAM, and he was one of the most brilliant collaborators of Mauro Picone inside the INAC. Unfortunately, Conforto’s untimely death suddenly interrupted his professional career. In this work, we want to outline a scientific biography of Conforto in the light of his varied mathematical production.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
