**Preface to "Actuarial Mathematics and Risk Management"**

This is a reprint of a Special Issue of *Risks*, co-edited with prof. Ermanno Pitacco.

Prof. Pitacco left us, unexpectedly and sadly, before this Special Issue was closed. His contribution to it has been important. Prof. Pitacco was an outstanding scholar. His contribution to the development of actuarial mathematics has been sizable and will not be forgotten.
