* InMemoriam: In Italy a great number of relevant characters, from the current President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella to the then Prime Minister Mario Draghi, to RAI colleagues, to singers, have quoted Piero Angela's demise as "a great loss for Italy", and the RAI chose to change its programs the days after his death, happened in 13th August 2022. In 29th March 2023 it was proposed to dedicate a square to him in the city of Bologna -- the seventh largest Italian city, well-known for its ancient university. In 21st June 2023, the Italian high-school final exam for the 18-years-old Italian students had Piero Angela as one of the authors to choose (among the others) for their first examination, to achieve the so-called "Maturità" -- which allows the teenagers to potentially frequent the university after the high school.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Piero Angela and his programs have always been very popular in Italy: he's been present almost since the beginnings of the TV in this country in the 1950s, more precisely in the Italian public network: the RAI, ''Radio Audiovisione Italiana'', "italian radio-TV". It used to be the host of the first TV news-broadcastings, followed as a foreigner journalist the First Men on the Moon (the ones of the Apollo 11, in 1969), before starting the franchise ''Quark'' in year 1981. According to many critics and TV experts his success among people of every generation, from elderly to children, was due to his typical ability to explain even the most complex technical/scientifical arguments with a familiar household language, and to his courteous and nice manners when presenting himself to the public. Alberto, too, has herited these abilities from the father, and since TheNineties has also become a well-known host of scientific/educative RAI programs, and is expecially popular among the younger audiences. Worthy to note is that was just the series ''Il Pianeta Dei Dinosauri'' that launched Alberto Angela (a professional palaeontologist) for the first time in TV. On the other hand, both Piero and Alberto Angela have sometimes had troubles with other popular italian TV characters in the past, as admitted by themselves in some interviews.
