Italian Banker Vittorino Veronese, a former chief of Italy's Catholic Action movement, says that he has "such a very rich personality that he is impossible to classify."

The theory of education in the Middle Ages was unfolded for us by the treatises of Aeneas Sylvius, and its practice illustrated by the writings of Vittorino Guarino and others.
