Proceedings from COMEX

 Last year, I attended COMEX7 in Catania, Italy.  This week, I spied a big brown envelope for me in the post room at work, and saw that it was from Italy, and couldn't quite figure out what might be inside.  At first I wondered if it was a hard copy of the new NuPECC Long Range Plan document.  But, no, it was a hard copy of the COMEX7 proceedings, published in a special issue of Nuovo Cimento C. 

Nuovo Cimento is a famous journal from Italy, set up by the Italian Physical Society, in which many interesting articles have appeared over the years - particularly on theoretical physics, and particularly from some of the famous Italian names, such as Fermi and Majorana.  As happens with many journals the original Nuovo Cimento split into different series with different specialities, and eventually almost all of them merged with other European national journals to form the European Physical Journal series.  But a few rump Nuovo Cimento journals live on.  Nuovo Cimento C survives to publish proceedings of conference and workshops held (mainly? solely?) in Italy.  And so, I have a hard copy of a special edition of this famous and historic journal, which includes my first, and perhaps only, Nuovo Cimento paper
