Interview with Peter Higgs

• An interview with Peter Higgs, held in Edinburgh on 8 December 2008.
  Thanks to Peter Higgs and Peter Osborne for helping me in editing the original text.
  A short version of the interview, in Italian, has been published in June 2009 on the INFN magazine Asimmetrie, and in July 2012 on Le Scienze online.
  The translation in Italian of the interview, by Catia Peduto, Francesca Scianitti and myself, can be found here, and on Asimmetrie online.
