He attended the High School Umberto I of Rome (the same as Enrico Fermi), and he graduated in Theoretical Physics, with honors, in 1964. The following year he was in Florence with a CNR grant, then he became professor. From 1967 to 1972 he taught in most prestigious American Universities: Princeton University, Harvard University, Rockefeller New York University. From 1974 to 1980 he was Staff Member in the Theory Division of CERN (Geneva).

Preparata has dedicated great part of his scientific activity to High Energy Physics giving important contributions to the construction of Standard Model, the new synthesis of the subnuclear interactions. In particular he clarified the nature of the Dirac quantistic field of Quarks, a fundamental premise for the electroweak unification, and he proposed a solution to the crucial problem of Colour confinement in Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) based on a non-perturbative analysis of the ground state of QCD. From 1987 he turned his attention to problems in the field of condensed matter and to nuclear physics, that he tackled armed with the picture of Quantum Field Theory. Preparata discovered that condensed matter systems, at low enough temperature and high enough density, spontaneously develop new coherent soutions of QED. This allowed him to face old problems, like liquid water theory, and new ones, like cold fusion, from a completely new point of view that appears very promising. Moreover he developed with Cecilia Saccone (Molecular Biology Professor of University of Bary, Italy) a Markov model of molecular evolution. He published approximately 400 papers in the following fields: subnuclear physics, nuclear physics, physics of lasers, superconductivity, superfluidity, liquid and solid water, condensed matter (glasses, colloids, electrolytes, etc), physics of neutron stars, astrophysics of Gamma ray bursts, cold fusion.
