History of Life

Lino Rossi was born in Milan on December 31, 1923, as the son of a humanist medical practitioner, who played a crucial role in Lino’s vocation as a pathologist (Fig. 1). He had a classic high school education and then enrolled in the medical faculty of the University of Milan where he graduated in 1947. During the Second World War, he participated in the partisan struggle against the Fascist Republic of Salò. For his help given to soldiers of the British Commonwealth of Nations, enabling them to escape from capture by the enemies, he received an award from the Supreme Allied Commander Harold Alexander (1891–1969).
