icalGeodesy,whichwasheldJune17to21,2013.Forasecondtimeinrow,theSymposium
tookplaceattheFacultyofEngineeringoftheUniversityofRome“LaSapienza”,Italy.Again,
the symposium was hosted in the beautiful ancient chiostro of the Basilica of S. Pietro in
Vincoli,famouslyknownforitsstatueofMosesbyMichelangelo.
The traditional name mathematical geodesy for the series of Hotine-Marussi Symposia
may not fully do justice to the Symposium’s broad scope of theoretical geodesy in general.
However,thenamefortheserieshasbeenusedsince1965,i.e.thedaysofAntonioMarussi,
which is a good reason to adhere to it. The venue of the Hotine-Marussi Symposia has
traditionallybeeninItaly,asexemplifiedinthehistoricaloverviewandmaponthenextpages.
Since 2006 the series is under the responsibility of the Intercommission Committee on
Theory (ICCT), a cross-commission entity within the International Association of Geodesy
(IAG). The overall goal of the Hotine-Marussi Symposia has always been the advancement
of theoretical geodesy. This goal is aligned with the objectives of the ICCT, which has the
developments in geodetic modelling and data processing in the light of recent advances of
geodeticobservingsystemsaswellastheexchangebetweengeodesyandneighbouringEarth

vi Preface
not know at this point was that the organizing committee had decided to dedicate the
VIII Hotine-Marussi Symposium in his honour. To put Fernando into the spotlight four
brief speeches followed by four renowned geodesists and old-time colleagues of Fernando:
Michele Caputo, Sakis Dermanis,Erik Grafarendand Christian Tscherning.Please note that
the latter three names represent the universities of Thessaloniki, Stuttgart and Copenhagen,
respectively, from which Fernando has been awarded honorary doctorates. Each of these
gentlemen reminisced about their long-term collaboration and friendship with Fernando,
but they also characterized him by entertaining anecdotes. Thus the long-term commitment
and dedication of Prof. Sansò was acknowledged, who has been the driving force behind
the series of Hotine-Marussi Symposia over the past decades. Whether this honour might
be a burden at the same time, as the cartoon seems to suggest, well: future will tell.

We want to express our gratitude to all of those who have contributed to the success
of the VIII Hotine-Marussi Symposium. The aforementioned study group chairs (Scientific

But most of our thanks are due to Mattia Crespi and his team of the Area of Geodesy
andGeomatics(AGG),whichispartoftheDepartmentofCivil,BuildingandEnvironmental
Engineering (DICEA), who hosted the Symposium. It is well known that the quality of a

Local Organizing Committee (LOC) is decisive to a successful scientific meeting. Beyond
responsibilityforwebsite,registration,technicalsupportandallkindsofotherarrangements,
the LOC organized a visit to the Villa Farnesina and a great social event to the Capitoline
Hill, including a guided museum tour and a roof-top dinner with an astonishing view over
the eternal city. Through their able organization and improvisation skills Mattia Crespi and
his team (Elisa Benedetti, Mara Branzanti, Paola Capaldo, Gabriele Colosimo, Nicole Dore,
Francesca Fratarcangeli, Augusto Mazzoni, Andrea Nascetti, Jolanda Patruno, Francesca
Pieralice and Martina Porfiri) have done more than their share in bringing the VIII Hotine-
MarussiSymposiumtosuccess.

Fifty Years of Hotine-Marussi Symposia
In 1959, Antonio Marussi, in cooperation with the Italian Geodetic Commission, started a
seriesof symposiain Venice.Thefirstthree ofthesecoveredtheentire theoreticaldefinition
