As noted, there is a photo of Fioravanti and some comments about him by Lewan here:
http://theeestory.com/posts/215391 I asked Lewan: "Do you know anything about this person? Do you think it is possible he is a fake who actually works for Rossi? He looks a little old for that. I do not seriously think this is fake. But if we had some proof that he really is an independent licensed engineer, that pretty much proves it is real. A licensed engineer would never take part in a fraud. He would lose his license and his livelihood. This is a widely publicized event and the authorities would find out about it. . . ." Is there an on-line registry of licensed engineers in Italy? Can someone look this guy up? Someone who speaks Italian, please? Here is a registry in California, "License Lookup (Verification) for California-Licensed Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Geologists, and Geophysicists:" http://www.pels.ca.gov/consumers/lic_lookup.shtml Here is one for Georgia: http://sos.georgia.gov/plb/ I found a registry in Georgia for people who are *not* registered HVAC engineers, that is, people convicted of practicing without a license, or who had their licenses revoked. - Jed
