In Memoriam Italo Poggesi
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing away of the husband of our esteemed Vice President, Florana Menendez who departed this life last night.
I have known him since 2006. He was the man who always had his laptop with him. During congresses, symposiums, and workshops, he was always where you needed him to be - and he could always give you the answer you were looking for.
Amid the emotions and bustle of our activities, he brought calm and peace. He always gave you the confidence that everything would be all right by the end of the day. And indeed, it always was.
The entire FEMTEC community expresses its profound condolences to Florana Menendez and her family. In this time of great loss, we stand united in grief and remembrance, offering our heartfelt support and solidarity. The loss of a loved one is never easy, and we hope that the strength of our shared thoughts can bring even a small measure of comfort.
We assure Florana and her family that we are by their side during these difficult times. May she find comfort in the presence of those who care deeply, and may her husband rest in peace.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Olga Surdu, President
and the entire FEMTEC community
