Rita Levi-Montalcini (22 April 1909 – 30 December 2012) was an
Italian neurologist who, together with colleague Stanley Cohen, received the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of nerve growth
factor (NGF). From 2001 until her
death she was a Senator for Life.
Rita Levi-Montalcini had been the oldest living Nobel laureate and the first ever to reach a 100th birthday. On 22 April 2009,
she was feted with a 100th birthday party at Rome's city hall. In 1968, she became the tenth woman elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences. In 1974, although a professed atheist, she became a
member of the Pontifical
Academy of Sciences. In 1987, she received the National
Medal of Science, the
highest American scientific honour. In 1991, she received the Laurea Honoris
Causa in Medicine from the University of
Trieste, Italy. On that occasion,
she expressed her desire to formulate a Carta of Human Duties as necessary
counterpart of the too much neglected Declaration of Human Rights. The vision
of Rita Levi-Montalcini came true with the issuing of the Trieste Declaration
of Human Duties and the foundation in 1993 of the International Council of
Human Duties, ICHD, at the University of
Trieste.
