So here it is: Penon CV: http://www.cobraf.com/forum/immagini/R_123620809_1.pdf
I realize now (from reading old posts online that raised similar issue) this is an old topic that come out previously. I can verify Laurea is not a Doctorate and this is what Penon has, a Laurea. Not that you need a PhD to be a good engineer. Most engineers do not have a PhD. But I want to point out again how sloppy (in the best of interpretation) or intentional misleading Rossi is in repeating that Penon has a Doctorate. Just a detail but very telling.
