Abstract
In 1995 the name Massimo Mangiolavori entered the pages of LINKS for the first time. Marguerite Pelt wrote a seminar report inspired by his 1993 and 1994 seminars in Wageningen on snakes and spiders. Although his English at that time was not so easy to follow and despite the fact that the spoiled Dutch audience had to do without a video presentation, Massimo made a deep impression. Marguerite finished her report by writing: “Dr. Mangialavori has a lot of experience, and not only with animal remedies. He has ideas about plants and showed cases of Nuphar, Phellandrium and Eryngium maritinum. But then his name predestined him to be a workaholic (Lavori: work, Mangio: eat and Massimo: to the maximum).” We clearly hadn't heard the last of Massimo. Cees Baas, who had learned Italian by just visiting Massimo in Italy, had translated his spider and snake cases into English, and several of the cases he had presented in Wageningen featured in subsequent issues of LINKS. In 1996 Uta Santos-König and Peter König interviewed Massimo for LINKS. Uta has been following Massimo ever since so I have asked her to share with us what it is in Massimo and his work that keeps inspiring her.
