AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Massimo Campanini, an Italian Quran researcher and orientalist passed away.
The Italian scholar who had converted to Islam, died on Friday, October 9, 2020, at the age of 65.

Campanini was born in Millan, Italy on November 3, 1954.
He was a thinker, scholar, and philosopher who conducted extensive research in the field of Islamic philosophy, history and sciences and the Holy Quran.
After buying an Italian translation of the Quran during a trip to Egypt in 1981, he was encouraged to learn Arabic and study the Islamic culture.
Having taught at the universities of Urbino, Naples and Trento, he wrote a large number of books and articles on Islam, the Quran and Islamic philosophy.
His recent publications include The Quran: Modern Muslim Interpretations (Routledge, 2011) and Philosophical Perspectives on Modern Quranic Exegesis (2016).
