It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Honorary President and Founder, mr. Alessandro (Alex) Barberis.

It is a great loss for our association and a sad moment for all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside this extraordinary individual.

Mr. Alessandro Barberis was not only the driving force behind the inception of our SAE Torino Section, but also the beacon of inspiration that guided us with his dedication and vision. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we strive to carry forward the torch he so brilliantly lit.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all those whose lives were touched by his extraordinary presence.

May Alex rest in peace, and may his legacy live on through the continued efforts of our association.

With heartfelt condolences,
SAE Torino Section
