Abstract: Abstract If you enter what was latterly the office of the Head of the former Istituto di Analisi Matematica of the University of Torino, you find before you a group of photographs which recall those Professors who held the Chair of Analisi (or Calcolo) in the period from 1811 to 1972; among them, side by side with Giovanni Plana (who occupied the Chair from 1811 to 1864), Angelo Genocchi (from 1864 to 1889), Enrico D’Ovidio (from 1872 to 1918), is the mild countenance of Giuseppe Peano, Professor of Calculus from 1890 to 1931; next to him is his successor Francesco G. Tricomi, Professor of Analysis from 1925 to 1972.
