Google translate produces this:

According to e-cat.com, he conducted his thesis on relativity.

This corroborates the information on Wikipedia:

> In 1973, Rossi graduated cum laude in Philosophy of Science and
> Engineering at the University of Milan with a thesis on Albert
> Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and its interrelationship with
> Edmund Husserl’s Phenomenology. His advisor was Professor Ludovico
> Geymonat.

So where does all this disinformation about Rossi being a chalatan
with a fake PhD from a diploma mill coming from?
