I can't tell since they are in Italian. I myself depend on textbooks like this. If I need to understand chemistry, for a translation let us say, I wouldn't try to figure it out without a textbook. Specifically, "Chemistry Made Simple" by Fred C. Hess. If Rossi needed a textbook at this rather elementary level to write a theory, I would not take that theory very seriously. It is probably amateur level theory. But I don't know enough about theory to judge. I suppose an amateur might come up with a theory that explains cold fusion. Or a model. Amateurs do make important contributions to science from time to time, such as the Mpemba effect. An Argentinian automobile mechanic, Jorge Odon, invented an important new medical device. It is reportedly one of the biggest improvement in obstetrics in several decades.
