description

G.B. Guccia had an ambitious goal: developing the Circolo Matematico di Palermo into the international association of mathematicians. The pursuit of this aim was influenced by his two most important mathematical relationships: with Vito Volterra and with Henri Poincare. The time came to obtain a professorship, and to consolidate the Circolo Matematico di Palermo. On both issues, G.B. Guccia succeeded, although through rather turbulent processes. The celebration of the Heidelberg International Congress of 1904 was a fundamental moment for the international expansion of the Circolo Matematico di Palermo. The Rome International Congress of 1908 gave G.B. Guccia the opportunity to realize his ambitious goal.
