Two DeBaser pieces by De Lorenzo review Don Luigi Verzé's books and life. They underline his role founding the San Raffaele hospital and his mixing of faith, science and entrepreneurship. Both texts acknowledge later judicial inquiries while emphasizing practical achievements in healthcare and research. The reviews present a complex, contested figure rather than a simple verdict.
