Antonino Zichichi
Zichichi, Professor Antonino
Professor Antonino Zichichi (1929-2026) was an internationally renowned Italian particle physicist and professor at
the University of Bologna. As a rational scientist, he is strongly opposed to any form of superstitio
n, particularly astrology and numerology and is certainly not given to flights of fancy.
According to Roberto Pinotti’s list(a), Zichichi, in 1993 placed Atlantis in the Atlantic. In an interview(b) he considered the possibility that its demise could have been caused by the impact of a comet or asteroid.
Zichichi had planned to assist Federico Fellini with a film relating to Atlantis shortly before the untimely death of the famous director.
