VP of Motorsport at Automobili Lamborghini, receives Laurea ad Honorem from the University of Bologna
Maurizio Reggiani, Vice-President of Motorsport at Automobili Lamborghini and for fifteen years Chief Technical Officer of the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based company, received the Laurea ad Honorem in Mechanical Engineering from the Magnifico Rettore of the University of Bologna, Giovanni Molari, marking a forty-year career spent in automotive research and innovation.
The ceremony was held today in the Santa Lucia auditorium, where Prof. Nicolò Cavina (Coordinator for the PhD program of Automotive for Intelligent Mobility) delivered the laudatio in front of nearly 500 guests, university faculty members and representatives of Automobili Lamborghini, including Chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann. The laudatio was followed by a speech given by the Director of the Industrial Engineering Department, Alfredo Liverani, who praised Reggiani for his contributions to the development of the Emilia Romagna Motor Valley region and of Italian technology, thanks to his ability to transform his visions into innovative research, world-class technological products, and benefits for the region.
“It is not easy to describe the emotion I am feeling at this moment,” said Reggiani during his speech, “and at the same time to express gratitude to all those people who made it possible, starting with the Magnifico Rettore Prof. Giovanni Molari. I owe my sincere thanks to my closest collaborators and the companies that have allowed me to do the best job in the world, especially Automobili Lamborghini with Dr. Stephan Winkelmann and all the members of the board.”
“It is an honor to have Maurizio at my side,” commented Winkelmann, “and the Laurea ad Honorem is the confirmation of his outstanding abilities, which he has made available to our company for almost three decades, including fifteen years as CTO. Thanks to his contribution, Lamborghini has achieved significant results in the area of Research & Development, and now this shared path continues in the new goals we have set for ourselves in motorsport.”
“Our graduating student,” said Rector Giovanni Molari, “perfectly embodies a number of values that fully match the University of Bologna’s nature and goals: his drive towards internationalisation rooted in the social and entrepreneurial fabric of the local territory; his tendency to combine professional work and teaching; his ability to see his profession as a combination of virtues and skills that appear to be very diverse: technological knowledge and creative imagination, scientific rigour and innovative flair, mastery of production processes and attention to environmental sustainability.”
During his career, Mr. Reggiani initiated and managed important collaborations with the “Aeronautics, Space and Mobility” Interdepartmental Center for Industrial Engineering and with the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Bologna. He is also associate professor of the course “New product development in the motor industry” for the Master’s Degree “Supercars, Superbikes and Motorsports” at the Bologna Business School, and he was one of the promoters and creators of MUNER (Motor vehicle UNiversity of Emilia Romagna) and the related International Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Advanced Automotive Engineering. During his years as Chief Technical Director at Automobili Lamborghini, his interest and commitment in the field of composite materials contributed to the filing of more than 160 patents, giving rise to important synergies in the international arena as well.
