Gaetano Fichera) held in Rome at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei on 8 February 1997. . A biographical work focusing on the contributions of Gaetano Fichera to mechanics and the role played by him in the founding of the ISIMM. Scientific references . The first paper where a set of (fairly complicate) necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for holomorphic functions of several variables is given: the bounded domain where the problem is posed and solved is assumed to be not pseudoconvex. . A historical paper about the fruitful interaction of elasticity theory and mathematical analysis: the creation of the theory of variational inequalities by Fichera is described in paragraph 5, pages 282–284. . . A definitive monograph on integration and measure theory: the treatment of the limiting behavior of the integral of various kind of sequences of measure-related structures (measurable functions, measurable sets, measures and their combinations) is somewhat conclusive. . The contribution of Alberto Cialdea read in the day dedicated to the memory of Gaetano Fichera (1 June 2011) of the international conference "New Function Spaces in PDEs and Harmonic Analysis", held in Napoli from 31 May to 4 June 2011. . A survey of Gaetano Fichera's contributions to the theory of partial differential equations, written by two of his pupils. . .

An historical paper correcting some inexact historical statements in the theory of holomorphic functions of several variables, particularly concerning contributions of Gaetano Fichera and Francesco Severi. . An historical paper exploring further the same topic previously dealt in the paper by the same author. , available at Gallica. . A book arose from the notes of a course held by Francesco Severi at the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (which at present is named after him), containing appendices of Enzo Martinelli, Giovanni Battista Rizza and Mario Benedicty. . . (preprint version available from the author's website retrieved on 1 May 2009). An expository paper detailing the contributions of Gaetano Fichera and his school on the problem of numerical calculation of eigenvalues for general differential operators. Publications dedicated to him or to his memory .
