Pasquale Galluppi born in Tropea in 1770. How do I rate Gentile , "really lived for science, in which he managed to give deep marks, renewing the Italian philosophy". After the first training receved in his native city an St. Lucia del Mela Sicily, in 1788 he was sent by his father to Naples to study theology, the Holy Father, "special attack in St. Augustine".
