On June 16, 2011 Patrizia Ruffo, curator of the International Galilean Bibliography, was awarded the "Mario di Nola" Prize by the Accademia dei Lincei. This prestigious prize, destined for a literary, philosophical or historical work, has been given to Patrizia Ruffo for her continuing, with commitment and dedication, the work of the great historians and bibliographers of Galileo (Favaro, Carli, Boffito, Gentili and McMullin), making the Galilean Bibliography a rich database (about 20,000 entries), which is constantly updated and available online.
