The original plans for a meeting to celebrate the second centenary
of the As tronomical Observatory of Palermo were for a celebration
with a double character. The gathering was to have both a
historical character, appropriate for a bicenten nial, and a
technical character, to note and chronicle the new phase of the
history of the Observatory, which has prospered in parallel with
the development of this fairly recent topic in astronomical
research, the physics of stellar and solar coronae. After the
untimely death of the Observatory's Director, Giuseppe S. Vaiana
(Pippo to his many friends), a number of colleagues and friends
insisted that the celebration should nevertheless be held and
should be dedicated to this farsighted scientist who stimulated the
development of coronal physics from the early x-ray observations of
the solar corona to the recognition of coronae as an observable
feature of nearly all stars. This memorial dedication did not
change the character of the meeting, which was held in Palermo from
22 to 26 June 1992; as his contributions are very alive in the
papers presented at the meeting and collected here, Pippo Vaiana
has certainly achieved his place in the history of Astronomy."
