We are deeply saddened to announce that Professor Silvio Vita passed away in Kyoto on June 18.

Prof. Vita was the Scientific Coordinator of the Italian School of East Asian Studies and had collaborated for over twenty years with the École française d'Extrême-Orient in Kyoto, organizing lectures and colloquia. He was also a member of the Advisory Board of the Cahiers d'Extrême-Asie and had served on the Academic Council of the EFEO.
We offer our sincere condolences to his wife, family, and loved ones.
