It's with heartfelt sadness to share the news that Gianluca "kino" Faletti died yesterday. Gianluca was at the center of the Italian Blender Community since early 2000s, I've enjoyed meeting with him at the Blender Conference countless times.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

My condolences to his family and friends. I did not know him, but he had to be smart to know the in’s and out’s of Blender.
Rest In Peace My Friend.
