CONTRO Ugo Ciappina’s story robber and martyr

Some American and South-african universities has discovered, with my great surprise, one of my book which was published forty years ago in Milan, that is in 1968.

- Brown University of Providence (Rode Island)
- Princeton University of Princeton, N.J. (New Jersey)
- University of South Africa (UNISA) of Pretoria
