Very sad news from Italy, where the great economic historian Gianni Toniolo has died. He was a wonderful scholar and a generous academic citizen, both in Italy and on the European stage. Among other things he played an important role in promoting #econhist at the #CEPR. His history of the Bank of Italy was launched just three weeks ago at a glittering occasion in Rome. He was courtesy itself and was always very kind to me personally. He will be greatly missed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal.

@kevinhorourke Toniolo was an incredible scholar, I very much appreciated having the opportunity to interact with him when he would spend semesters teaching at Duke University.
