By collecting contributions of the many scientists who have interacted with Sergio Fubini and shared his friendship and enthusiasm for unraveling the ultimate mysteries of matter, this book offers a panorama of recent and interesting achievements in experimental and theoretical particle physics, gauge and string theories and the like. It also contains some reports about the historical development of this branch of activity, with its political, financial and cultural implications for the present and future. The common feature of the contributions is the search for symmetry and simplicity in complex phenomena. The book represents a struggle toward the future without forgetting the good and the bad of the past.

This book has been prepared to celebrate the 65th birthday of Gabriele Veneziano and his retirement from CERN in September 2007. This reti- ment certainly will not mark the end of his extraordinary scienti?c career (in particular, he will remain on the permanent sta? of the Coll` ege de France in Paris), but we believe that this important step deserves a special celebration, and an appropriate recognition of his monumental contribution to physics. Our initial idea of preparing a volume of Selected papers of Professor Gabriele Veneziano, possibly with some added commentary, was dismissed when we realized that this format of book, very popular in former times, has become redundant today because of the full “digitalization” of all important physical journals, and their availability online in the electronic archives. We have thus preferred an alternative (and unconventional, but probably more e?ective) form of celebrating Gabriele’s birthday: a collection of new papers written by his main collaborators and friends on the various aspects of th- retical physics that have been the object of his research work, during his long and fruitful career.
