Growing up in Naples, I lived and breathed Dermatology from an early age. Our house was large and included the office where they ran their private practice, alongside their public work. My father, after serving as a university assistant, was the Head of the Dermatology Unit at Salerno Hospital for over 25 years. Perhaps for these reasons, my own son decided to follow in their footsteps and became a dermatologist 25 years ago.</p><p>I had two main teachers: Pietro Santoianni and my father, Libero.</p><p>In 1973, when the Second Medical School was founded in Naples, Prof. Pietro Santoianni was appointed Head of the Dermatology Clinic, and I was named his first Assistant. He was an excellent researcher, and he served as Director until 2004, when I succeeded him as Head of the Department. Pietro Santoianni was fascinated by the new dermatological equipment that began appearing on the market since the 1970s. Our Department acquired the first Italian liquid nitrogen cryotherapy apparatus and the first Helio-neon laser. Although excellent results on skin ulcers had been reported in the literature, we demonstrated the ineffectiveness of this kind of laser light. I presented these findings at a Gordon Research Conference in Chicago. I also recall that the first phototherapy equipment was purchased and used in our Department for both research and clinical applications starting in the 1970s.</p><p>As for my father, Libero, he was not only an exceptional teacher of dermatological practice but also an extraordinary life mentor. I began working in the Dermatology Unit in Salerno shortly before graduating, learning clinical and dermatological semiology at the patient's bedside. At that time in Italy, as in France, the importance of dermatological disease classification according to primary morphology prevailed, underlining the fundamental importance of basic lesions in achieving a correct diagnosis.</p><p>The society I hold most dear is the Italian Society of Allergological, Occupational and Environmental Dermatology (SIDAPA). I served as a board member from 1999 to 2004 and later as President from 2005 to 2008. In this area of Dermatology, I also represented Italy on the Council of the European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD) from 1994 to 1998.</p><p>Another society close to my heart is the Italian Society of Dermatology Medical, Surgical, Aesthetic and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (SIDeMaST).

This society represents the historical evolution of the Società Italiana di Dermatologia e Sifilografia (SIDES), one of the oldest European dermatological societies, founded in 1885.</p><p>In addition, I have been a member of other societies, including the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereolo","PeriodicalId":17351,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":"39 4","pages":"725-729"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jdv.20589","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143690127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MRI is particularly useful for detecting small or occult lesions, mostly liquid or vascular, and presurgical mapping.
