(Il Giorno Editorialist Gaetano Baldacci charged that Galeazzi-Lisi, employing an "aromatic spirits" technique which he claimed had been used on the body of Christ, wretchedly botched the job.) Two Italian dailies, Rome's Il Tempo and Turin's La Stampa, bought Galeazzi-Lisi's second entree for a joint...
