Abstract
More than eighty years ago, the so-called Racial Laws banished Italian Jews from all their properties and places. The authors analyze the biography of Salomone Enrico Emilio Franco (1881-1950), a cosmopolite pathologist. Born in Trieste but raised in Venice, he had his medical degree in Padua and was a pathologist at the Venice Hospital, and then he went to Portugal. Franco founded the Institute of pathology of Lisbon University. He studied leish-maniosis and hematology. During WWI, he served as a volunteer in the Italian Army. He was then a full professor of pathology at the Universities of Sassari, Bari, and Pisa. However, he was obliged by the so-called Racial Laws to leave Italy and go to Palestine. He fought as a volunteer for the realization of the State of Israel and directed the Institute of Pathology in Jerusalem.Pubblicazioni consigliate
