In memoriam Umberto Solimene
Prof. Umberto Solimene, the dedicated and visionary president of FEMTEC between 2015 - 2023, a remarkable example of intelligence, passion and generosity, led our organization to new heights, bringing Hippocratic balneology into the third millennium. His work has been groundbreaking. He played a critical role in developing sustainable hydro-balneo-climato therapy research and practices worldwide, always guided by passion and respect for forerunners. He left behind him a lasting impact on high education of young generation of balneologists, demonstrating his belief that real legacy is education. His activity was about bringing people together, sharing knowledge, and fostering a sense of community responsibility towards natural therapeutic factors, and traditional, complementary and integrative medicine. His enthusiasm was infectious, and his genuine care for both people and the natural environment was evident in everything he did. Prof. Umberto Solimene's legacy will always be remembered, and his spirit will continue to inspire us to strive for excellence.
