Dear Colleagues,
this is the third and the last National Meeting of my tenure as President of AISP. It will held in
Bologna at the Savoia Hotel Regency easily accessible and within walking distance from the center
of my charming and historical town covered by the arcades for almost 40 kilometres: in the
summertime they are a perfect refuge from the sun and in the cold seasons a perfect refuge from the
rain. In the past these arcades were made of wood, nowadays they are all made of stone, except for
one, the arcade of Casa Isolani in Strada Maggiore, which is still made of wood. The arcades of
Bologna became favorite destination for men of letters and sciences and for young students coming
from the countryside: this population growth created the necessity of exploiting the open space of
the city.
It is time to thank the members of Governing Board of the AISP for helping me in this
extraordinary scientific adventure. At same time, I will deliver to the new president an association
scientifically valid, internationally respected and economically health. Even if the AISP is an old
association, mostly of its members are young and I would modify the sentence of Camille Corot,
one of the great figures of French realism, to describe our members “It is important to have the
genius at thirty years and talent at sixties”.
This year the topics of the congress will be challenging. According to our mission to promote and
encourage the development of science and health in the Pancreatology field, I’m trying to keep a
high scientific standard of our National Meeting. Of course, this is possible to the support of the
companies who continue to believe in our initiatives and which are giving enthusiastically their
support. My hope is that there will be three days of intensive and enthusiastic work.
Hot topics of our meeting will include the management of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine
tumors, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency treatment in elderly subjects, dietary risk and diabetes
mellitus in pancreatic cancer, new techniques for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of
autoimmune pancreatitis and much more. A special initiative is the consensus conference for the
revision of acute pancreatitis Italian guidelines on Thursday.
I am expecting lively discussions and I hope to revitalize relationships that are precursor for future
collaborations.
Finally, I would to thank all of you that have supported me in this fantastic scientific adventure.
A warm welcome to all of you in Bologna!
