There are people who leave their mark in their field. Without doubt, Pier Luigi Nimis (for the registry office, Pierluigi; for friends, Pier; for family members, Pil; for me and a few colleagues, PL) is such a person. On the threshold of retirement but no less active than ever, Pier Luigi is about to begin a new phase of his life, a life dedicated entirely to science and, in particular, to lichenology.

皮尔·路易吉·尼米斯 (Pier Luigi Nimis)：地衣的一生

有人在自己的领域留下了自己的印记。毫无疑问，皮尔·路易吉·尼米斯（Pier Luigi Nimis）（登记处的名字是Pierluigi；朋友的名字是Pier；家庭成员的名字是Pil；我和一些同事的名字是PL）就是这样的人。皮尔·路易吉即将退休，但他的活跃程度丝毫不减，即将开始他人生的新阶段，他的一生完全致力于科学，特别是地衣学。
