Dr. Anthony A. Gianelly, BU orthodontics chair, dies at 72
Dr. Anthony A. Gianelly, who was a leader at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine for more than three decades, died of a heart attack May 28, BU said today. He was 72.
Gianelly was chair of the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at BU from 1968 to 2003 and had returned as interim chair in 2007. He won teaching awards as well as recognition for his research over his 40-year career. His three books include one in Italian, reflecting frequent lectures in Italy that spurred him to learn the language, BU said.
A native of Boston, Gianelly graduated from Harvard College in 1957, where he played on the football, track, and rugby teams. He earned a doctor of dental medicine degree from Harvard, studied orthodontics at the Harvard/Forsyth Dental Center, and joined the BU dental faculty in 1967. He received his MD from Boston University School of Medicine in 1974.
A memorial service will be held at 10:30 June 26 at BU's dental school, 670 Albany St.
