I will always remember his singing. I still has the booklet with songs that he collected years ago and wonder if it will ever be published for the crystallographic community. Those evenings of singing with Lodovico were wonderful and jolly celebrations of life.
If we want to celebrate his memory (for example at the inauguration of ACA meeting) we should stand and sing the Prisoners Choir from Verdi's opera "Nabuco" that he made so popular and an unofficial anthem of all crystallographers.
