Those who had the privilege of his friendship, know the passion with which he faced his studies and researches, his work as a teacher and human relationships.
For the scientific community, and for all the students who learnt how to study the media thanks to Wolf's books, it was clear that they had been deprived of one of the most clear and profound minds among the researchers on communication, of a teacher of international merit, who would never give in to the temptation to become "easier", more "consumable" in order to gain popularity with the audience of the media, whose working he knew very well. Para la comunidad científica, y para todos los estudiantes que estudiaron los medios gracias a los libros de Wolf, esta claro que han aprendido a través de una de las mentes más claras y profundas entre los investigadores de la comunicación. In the frequent TV interviews (the last of which to MEDIAMENTE , a RAI broadcast, on the occasion of the conference on the future of communication ( Il futuro della comunicazione ) that Baskerville organized in Rome on January 1996), he was always consistent with his behaviour scheme.
Umberto Eco, a friend of his and a colleague at the Communication Sciences Institute in Bologna, where they both taught, recalls: "we met in a corridor for 25 years and we worked together profitably. He was one of the most alert researchers in the field of communications; the amount of his researches is an amount of precious things. If we reread is work today we will understand perfectly what the problems of TV are. He used new techniques, he was not only a theorist, but he set up listening and studying groups. We stood on the same corner" (Mattina Bologna, L'Unità, 16/7/1996).Umberto Eco, un amigo de él y un colega en el Instituto de Ciencias de la Comunicación en Bolonia, recuerda. " Fue uno de los investigadores más alerta en la campo de las comunicaciones; la cantidad de sus investigaciones es una cantidad de cosas preciosas”
