This is a series of seminars that will be held in Aula Amaldi in the Physics Department of "Sapienza", University of Rome, with dates that will span the whole 2022/2023 academic year. The idea and organization of this event comes from a collaboration between Sapienza, INFN and Gran Sasso Science Institute

These seminars have several purposes:

First, we want to propose a wide-range perspective on Giorgio Parisi's contributions to several different fields emphasizing his style of being a theoretical physicist, interested and active in many areas: a unique source of inspiration for the whole theoretical physics community.

Second, we hope that this series will not only be a recapitulation of some important contributions of Giorgio for those already working in theoretical physics: we hope it will also be capable of triggering the same kind of curiosity and interdisciplinary attitude towards theoretical physics in particular among the youngest people starting their work in research.

"The interdisciplinary contribution of Giorgio Parisi to theoretical physics" is an event especially dedicated to young people: master and PhD students who start their discovery path in the fascinating world of theoretical physics are more than welcomed.

There will be in total 14 contributions, each one dedicated to one among the most influential and iconic papers published by Giorgio. Each paper will be discussed by an expert of the field, in many cases close collaborators of Giorgio. The list below follows the chronological order:
