Since October 1985 Giovanni Montani was student of the physics department in the Rome university "La Sapienza"; after the fundamental courses he oriented his interest toward the theorethical physics, with particular reference to the theories of fundamental fields.

By following the lectures of Professor Remo Ruffini on relativistic astrophysics and fundamental general relativity, Giovanni Montani became deeply involved in the study of these subjects; on May 1991 he started his thesis work in the G9 group (group of the theorethical astrophysicists) under the supervision of Professor Remo Ruffini himself together whith Professor Vladimir Belinski, by developing an investigation in very early cosmology and unification theories.
On 14 December 1992 Giovanni Montani obtained the graduating degree, by discussing a thesis of the title "On the asymptotic regime of approach to a singular point in the general cosmological solution of the Einstein equations" and getting the maximal evaluation of 110/110 cum laude.
During all the 1993, as a member of ICRA (International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics) he developed and completed the lines of investigation traced during the thesis work, arriving to estabilish the existence of very important dynamical features characterizing the asymptotic behaviour of the gravitational field, toward the cosmological singularity in four, as well as, higher dimensional space-times.
On January 1994 Giovanni Montani got a p.h.d. position in physics at the same Rome university "La Sapienza" and, during the subsequent three years continued his p.h.d. activity of research as a member of ICRA and of the physics department; he devoted the p.h.d. studies (having as tutors Professors Remo Ruffini and Vladimir Belinski) to the investigation of the stochasticity characterizing the Bianchi type VIII and IX models, as well as the general cosmological solution, in the asymptotic regime to the initial singularity; in particular he searched for an appropriate statistical description of these very early cosmologies, obtaining important and concrete results concerning a continuous representation of their chaotic dynamics; large space was also dedicated to the possibility of implementing a unification Kaluza-klein theory in the dynamical frame work of a generic eleven-dimensional space-time near the cosmological singularity; On July 1997 he brightly discussed his thesis work, whose content was presented in important international meeting like the 7th and 8th Marcel Grossman, as well as, in several papers published on very prestigious magazine.
Since January 1997 to May 1998 Giovanni Montani received an ICRA grant, followed by the post-p.h.d. position obtained from the "National Institute of Nuclear Physics" (INFN) in June of the same year and yet to be completed; in this period he developed studies concerning dynamical properties characterizing the behaviour of the gravitational field in presence of "matter", as viewed in classical, semi-classical, an pure quantum gravity approach: This work produced important results appeared and to be appearing in literature, which require a deeper further investigation.
