Umberto Bartocci was born in Rome, in 1944. In 1967 he graduated in Pure Mathematics with Prof. Beniamino Segre, and then he became his Assistant. After two years of specialization in Cambridge (UK), in 1976 he was appointed Full Professor of Geometry at the University of Perugia. Since then, in Perugia he taught many mathematical courses, mostly concerning Algebra and Geometry, and since 1980 even History of Mathematics.

He slowly realized that there was a strong ideological connection between Darwinism, the formalistic foundation of Mathematics which lead to a Mathematics without Intuition, and the "irrationalistic" development of 20th Century Physics, which started with Relativity and arrived to the widespread interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. The empirical success of Physics reinforced which in his opinion was a bad Philosophy of Mathematics, and he understood that any critical approach to the foundations of his own discipline was impossible, unless it did involve foundations of Physics too.

Thus he started studying the logical and empirical foundations of Relativity, in a long intellectual travel which led to the organization of international meetings, publishing papers, and more recently even the edition of the journal Episteme. Rather deluded for the negligible results attained in front of a great effort, he did retire from teaching and research in 2006.
