Giorgio Parisi, together with the Japanese meteorologist and climatologist Syukuro Manabe and the German oceanographer and climate modeller Klaus Hasselmann, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2021. An award given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences “for their studies on phenomena chaotic and apparently random ”

The story of the award ceremony

Goran K. Hansson (C), Secretary General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and members of the Nobel Committee for Physics Thors Hans Hansson (L) and John Wettlaufer (R) sit in front of a screen displaying the co-winners of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics (LR) Syukuro Manabe (US-Japan), Klaus Hasselmann (Germany) and Giorgio Parisi (Italy) at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden, on October 5, 2021. - US-Japanese scientist Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann of Germany and Giorgio Parisi of Italy won the Nobel Physics Prize for climate models and the understanding of physical systems, the jury said.

Parisi’s research concerned “the discovery of the interaction between disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from the atomic to the planetary scale”. Those of Manabe and Hasselmann helped define “the physical modeling of the Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming”

Born in Rome in 1948, Parisi graduated in Physics at the La Sapienza University of Rome in 1970. He began his career as a researcher at the National Research Council (Cnr) and then at the Frascati National Laboratories of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics ( Infn). He collaborates with Columbia University, with the Institut des hautes Études Scientifiques and with the Ecole Normale Superieure de Paris. Professor emeritus at La Sapienza since 1992, he was also president of the National Academy of the Lincei from 2018 to 2021

“I am happy. I didn’t really expect it ”, admitted the professor in connection with Stockholm,“ but I knew I had some possibilities and so I kept the phone close to me ”. The Nobel laureate adds to a long list of honors for his work. In 1992 he received the Boltzmann medal, in 1999 the Dirac medal, seven years later the Galileo prize, then the Max Planck medal and the Wolf prize for physics

During the emergency, Covid has repeatedly intervened in the scientific debate to encourage the correct use of pandemic data. In October 2020 he wrote a letter to the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella together with 100 other scientists from all over the world asking for more incisive security measures to prevent infections
