Alberto Collino (1947 – 12 September 2020) was an Italian mathematician best known for his contributions in the field of algebraic geometry.[1]
Collino was born in Verzuolo,[1] earned a laurea in mathematics in 1970 from the University of Turin, and completed a Ph.D. in 1974 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2] His dissertation, The Rational Equivalence Ring of Symmetric Products of Curves, was supervised by Arthur Mattuck.[3] He spent his professional career at the University of Turin, beginning as an assistant in 1970 and becoming a full professor in 1984.[2]
He died in Milan.[1]
In 2025, a two-volume collection of papers written in memory of Alberto Collino was published by Birkhäuser in the series "Progress in Mathematics".[4][5]
