“I've always enjoyed having conversations with Marcel, appreciating his incredibly wide knowledge, sense of humor, and deep understanding of human beings. A colleague to whom you can definitely apply Terence's sentence: "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto": "I am human, and I think nothing human is alien to me." He will always challenge you to be better, to know more, to widen your horizons.” —Lorenzo Cantoni, professor of communication at Università della Svizzera italiana, Lugano, Switzerland
