Romano Scozzafava (born November 12, 1935) is an Italian mathematician known for his contributions to subjective probability along the lines of Bruno de Finetti, based on the concept of coherence. He taught Probability Calculus at the Engineering Faculty of the Sapienza University of Rome from 1979 to his retirement (at the end of 2009).
Scozzafava has conducted significant research on Bayesian inference, statistical physics, artificial intelligence, and fuzzy set theory in terms of coherent conditional probability.[1][2] He has written six books and over 200 papers on these subjects.[3][4] Throughout his career, he actively participated in politics as a supporter of the Italian Radical Party and of “Associazione Luca Coscioni” for Freedom of Scientific Research.[5][6]
