We share the sad news from Italy.

Edoardo Salzano died at age 89, one of the most important town planners in Italy. Born in Naples, but based in Venice since 1974, over several decades he teached and made research in town planning at IUAV University.
He also worked out many plans across the country and he published a highly opinion-making website in Italy: www.eddyburg.it  
He was and is a very important reference for many of the Italian urban, spatial and environmental planners.
During his activity — which continued until his dead — he had a crucial role in the development of generations of professionals, academics and in raising awareness among the population for planning-related themes. Lying in state will take place on 25 September in Venice in Venice Hospital.
