I was born in Monza, Italy, in1955. I took a degree (laurea) in Agricultural Sciences at the University of Milano in 1979 (magna cum laude). My thesis was in plant pathology : ‘Survey on plant diseases of the Park of Monza'. The supervisor was Prof. Marco Bisiach, later director of the Institute of plant Pathology of Milan.
