It seems that the information about registered professional italian engineers can be found here:
http://www.tuttoingegnere.it/web/ITA/Registro-U/ricerca.asp_cvt.asp I do not speak italian, but I can read a little. It seems to me that not every italian engineer is registered there, it depends wheter the regional engineer offices makes the information available. I have searched for FIORAVANTI, and there is no Domenico Fioravanti registered. But he could be registered to one of those regional offices that do not provide the information. I also searched for Andrea Rossi. There are several registered engineers called Andrea Rossi. 2011/10/29 Jed Rothwell <jedrothw...@gmail.com> > Peter Gluck <peter.gl...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> I will make a people search for the US. >> > > He appears to be Italian.
