Aurelio Peccei was born in a dynamic decade. At the beginning of the 20th century man had conquered the air with planes and zeppelins and the first European capitals had constructed metro lines. There was the spirit of progress in the heart and minds of people and it was not until 1972, when "Limits to Growth" was published as the first report to the Club of Rome, that a public discussion started on the question as to whether mankind was moving towards a disaster even in the absence of unrest and war.
Peccei played a historical role in bringing scientists and statesmen together, and motivating them to think about how to tackle the problems of humankind.His heritage is kept alive by the Aurelio Peccei Foundation which organizes events such as the Aurelio Peccei Lectures in Rome.
