Cicero wrote it once: "Vita enim mortuorum in memoria vivorum est posita."The life of the dead lives on in the memory of the living.For those who knew Riccardo Faletti, this isn't philosophy.It's a morning when the meeting starts and something feels wrong.It's the discussion that goes sideways and nobody quite manages to fix it.It's picking up the phone and remembering.It's knowing, in a way that still doesn't feel real, that there was so much he hadn't done yet."Un lungo pezzettino di vita insieme che non c'è più."He died on April 28, 2026.He was 46.There is no way to make that sentence sit right.Colleagues in academic radiology, friends from cardiovascular imaging, people who had simply shared pieces of life with him, nobody has found the logic in it yet.There probably isn't one.Born in Asti on October 5, 1979, Riccardo spent his early childhood in Turin, in the Cit Turin neighbourhood, a place he never stopped mentioning with warmth.High school brought him back to Asti, where he graduated from the Liceo Scientifico F. Vercelli in 1998.
Gatti et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
