“Son of a humble Rove family,” adds the mayor, “Cotogno became one of the most influential scholars of his time. A physician to the King of Naples who never stopped treating the poorest and most unfortunate of people.
A staunch supporter of the supremacy of science and sworn enemy of charlatans, he devoted his life to study, research, and his beloved students. In the discourses of the day, all of which are of great scholarly value, Cotogno’s character is observed from various points of view, from the medical to the literary, from the human and biographical to the scientific.
I sincerely thank the academics who honored the still-living memory of our illustrious compatriot with their wonderful presence and reports.
Many thanks also go to Dr. De Cossola and Dr. Caldarola who, together with the Municipality of Ruvo di Puglia, wanted to organize an event of great value from which I hope further developments will arise ».
