Alessandro Piccolo (Agronomist)
Alessandro Piccolo (born July 7, 1951 in Rome ) is an Italian chemist and agricultural scientist specializing in soil science . He is an excellent from the Humboldt Foundation Professor of the University of Naples , editor of Springer's journal Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture and a member of numerous EU research projects such as the University of Hohenheim in the project Biofector .
Live and act
After completing his A-levels at the "EQVisconti" high school for classical languages in Rome , he studied chemistry at the La Sapienza University in Rome, completing a doctorate as a Dr. phil. After various internships and a.
