Of the innumerable prizes, grants and honors assigned him we recall here the honorary degree in Philosophy and Letters conferred on him in 2001 by the University of Bologna. In 2002 the Republic of Austria conferred on him the decoration of Honor and, in 2012, Belgium made him a member of the Royal Academy.
