On 23 September 2015, CIRFIM’s Board of Directors decided to establish an Archive Fund at the Centre, named after Riccardo Quinto, a former member of the Centre who died prematurely in 2014.

The fund consists of copies of Prof Quinto’s publications and study and research material that belonged to him and was donated to the Centre by his wife, Dr Hilary Siddons. The material has been catalogued by Dr Cristina Ramous (69 monographs in the QUINTO section and 57 monographs and journals in the MISCELL.QUINTO section, including multi-volume monographs and multiple copies). It is visible in GalileoDiscovery (the University’s OPAC) and available for consultation on request.

The collection is visible, also as a subset, in the catalogue of the Padua Library System (click here for the link). It includes non-editorial abstracts, theses and dissertations, and 11 folios.
