Abstract: Abstract I first met Gianni when I was an undergraduate student at the University of Pisa. I attended his lectures on algebraic methods in quantum mechanics. Gianni was an extraordinary teacher, as many remarked. From his lectures, which included topics such as the Bell and Kochen–Specker theorems, I was particularly amazed by the discovery that basic questions about quantum mechanics were still unanswered. Encountering these problems, presented from Gianni’s perspective of doubting and questioning everything, was a pivotal moment for me. After taking his course, I asked him to be the supervisor of my MSc thesis, which ended up being on the problem of classical representability for partial Boolean structures in quantum mechanics, i.e., commutative subalgebras of projectors and the associated probability measures.
