    BOth passed away. R.I.P.
    DURING MY SPECIALISATION IN SURGERY I had the good luck to meet him and Maggiano when they studied medicine at the University of Bologna, Italy. The story about Peschici and the processione , the pizzàs and of course medicine are lovely memories. Sincere condoglianze Fulvio
