Giuseppe Arcidiacono (1927–1998) was an Italian physicist, born in Acireale.[1] He earned his degree in physics at the University of Catania in 1951.[2]
Arcidiacono was mathematician Luigi Fantappiè's main disciple.[2] Together they worked on what they called projective relativity at the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica in Rome.[3]
In 1958 Arcidiacono won a scholarship to the Istituto H. Poincaré in Paris. He won the mathematics prize from the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.[4] From 1969 until his death in 1998 he was Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Perugia.
