Our friend and colleague Salvatore Lanzano, born in July 20th 1955, died on July 4th 1994 after a sudden illness. His passing leaves us bereft of a person of great human and professional importance to our research team. His first work at CERN was on the UA4 and UA7 experiments, where he worked on the design and development of experimental apparatus and on data analysis. Later he moved to the L3 experiment, swiftly winning the respect and trust of the collaboration for his gifts, largely based on his talent and tireless energy. There too he played a key part in the development and commissioning the entire inner part of the muon spectrometer and in relative analysis of the results. Latterly he had major responsibilities in work of producing the trigger for the forward chambers. In 1992 he succeded in becoming an associate professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Naples "Federico II". He was married in September 1992.
