Giulio Giorello (Italian: [ˈdʒuːljo dʒoˈrɛllo]; 14 May 1945 – 15 June 2020) was an Italian philosopher, mathematician, and epistemologist.[1]

Biography

Giorello graduated with a degree in philosophy in 1968 and in mathematics in 1971 at the University of Milan. While there, he studied under the philosopher Ludovico Geymonat.[2] He then taught physics and natural sciences at the University of Pavia, University of Catania, University of Insubria[3] and the University of Milan.[2] Giorello was a professor of philosophy of science at the University of Milan;[4][5] he was also President of SILFS (Italian Society of Logic and Philosophy of Science).[3] He directed the "Scienza e idee" series by Raffaello Cortina Editore[6][better source needed] and collaborated on the cultural pages of the newspaper Corriere della Sera.[2][7][8]

In 2010, Giorello expressed his atheistic thought with work Senza Dio. Del buon uso dell'ateismo,[9] but in the last years of his life he expressed an agnostic thought.[citation needed]

In March 2012 he was a speaker at the national congress of the Grand Orient of Italy in Rimini.[10][11] Giorello won the 4th edition of the 2012 Frascati Philosophy National Award.[12]

Giorello died in Milan on 15 June 2020 due to COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.[13] Three days before his death, he married his partner Roberta Pelachin.[14]

Personal life

Giorello was a "comic book expert"; he wrote essays about Tex Willer and Topolino, and he also wrote the prefaces to Logicomix and Rat-Man: Superstorie di un supernessuno.[15] In 2014, he co-created the comic "The philosophy of Donald Duck".[15]
