Abstract
We give an account of the main achievements of the scientific career of Andrea Vitturi so far, that have recently been discussed during the workshop “Theoretical Nuclear Physics in Padova” on the occasion of his retirement from full professor at the University of Padova. He has oftentimes been the driving force behind numerous contributions to nuclear structure and nuclear reactions that are here reviewed: giant resonances, pairing correlations, collective modes, algebraic models, inelastic excitations, electromagnetic response, break-up and transfer reactions, coupled-channel formalism, clustering, sub-barrier fusion processes, etc. Among these topics several inspirational works and ideas can be found that we would like to highlight.

Notes
According to Wikipedia, where several historical references are collected, Padova is the 5th oldest university in continuous operation, after Bologna, Oxford, Salamanca and Cambridge. The counting raises the position to 8th if one includes institutions that have been closed.
The others being located in Catania, Frascati and Gran Sasso.
It is well known (Bayman–Silverberger) that the coupling of a \(\gamma \)-unstable core with a \(j=3/2\) orbits leads to a supersymmetric situation, i.e., it can be described with a Lie superalgebra.
These are modes of motion in which the proton and neutron fluids oscillate in phase or out-of-phase, respectively.
In the recent Ref. [101], a more elaborate mixing of different configurations is proposed to explain the angular distribution.
