Carlo Rovelli

A graduate of the University of Bologna in Physics, he earned his PhD at the University of Padua. He has worked at the Universities of Rome and Pittsburgh, and for the Center for Theoretical Physics at the University of the Mediterranean in Marseille. He introduced the theory of loop quantum gravitation, currently considered the most accepted theory in physics.
He has also devoted himself to the history and philosophy of science with the book "What is Science? Anaximander's Revolution" (2011). His other books include "What is Time? What is Space?" (2010), "Reality is Not as It Appears. The Elementary Structure of Things" (2014), "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics" (2014), "Helgoland" (2020), and "General Relativity" (2021). In 2023, Adelphi published "White Holes. Inside the Horizon", which immediately topped the bestseller lists. That same year, Solferino published "I Knew It Here, Above the Hao River. Newspaper Articles."
In 2025, Feltrinelli published "Francesca's Flight," a political memoir about freedom, the courage to face the unknown, and diversity, along with Massimo Tirelli, Giorgia Marzano, and Francesca Zanini.
