Life

Enzo Tonti was born in Milan. He attended an fine arts high school. He graduated in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Milan in 1961.[2] He began work there in 1962 as research assistant in the field of mathematical physics. In the year 1976, he accepted a professorship at the Engineering Faculty of the university of Trieste. After retirement, he was nominated professor emeritus. He married in 1962 and had three children (two daughters and one son).
