The concept of symmetry and the ideas of beauty and elegance play an important role in helping to understand and explain the properties of many-body quantum systems, from molecules to nuclei and elementary particles. The "Beauty in Physics" meeting was celebrated in honor of one of the pioneers in this field, Francesco Lachello.
