Abstract A Memorial Day for Renato Koch, on the tenth anniversary of his passing, was held on 14 November 2015 at the School of Aerospace Engineering. Renato Koch was a distinguished actor of the national history of electronics, during the period of time starting from the Direction of Advanced Experimental Studies (DSSE- Direzione Studi Superiori ed Esperienze) in Guidonia till the Research Centre Fondazione Bordoni. After a welcome speech of the Dean of the School of Aerospace Engineering, Professor Paolo Teofilatto, the General Officer Franco Langella, head of the Italian Air Force Engineer Corps, recalled the group of young researchers that operated in Guidonia. This was a group of friends, all focused on joint targets and ideals. The General Officer Franco Langella observed that the same spirit is still maintained in the “Centro Sperimentale Volo” (CSV) operating in Pratica di Mare. The aim is now to keep alive and increment such a spirit to expand the activities of CSV thus reaching the past levels of excellence. Professor Graziani gave a very interesting and enjoyable talk on the history of the DSSE showing how the studies and the personnel working in Guidonia influenced the activity of the School of Aerospace Engineering of Rome, established in 1926 at the University “La Sapienza”. Professor Roveri offered a detailed analysis of the remarkable development of the Electronics in Italy, in particular during the 60s and 70’s. The Professors Fedi and Talone described the activity of the Fondazione Bordoni: Fedi mentioned in particular the activities during the leadership of Renato Koch, Talone presented the recent activities of the Fondazione Bordoni. The celebration was closed by Prof. Giorgio Koch, former Professor of Sapienza and son of Renato. Professor Koch gave a very interesting speech, recalling the personality and the skillness of his father, thus adding a deep and personal contribution to the meeting.
