The Italian agronomist and viticulturalist Lorenzo Corino (1947-2021) graduated in agricultural sciences in Rome in 1972. He then worked as a research assistant at the Experimental Station for Cereal Cultivation in Rome. Thanks to a scholarship, he then worked at the Plant Breeding Institute of Cambridge (Great Britain) in connection with resistance in cereals. After returning to Italy, he first worked at the Experimental Station for Cereal Crops and then moved to the Experimental Station for Viticulture in Conegliano (Veneto). He carried out extensive research activities at Italian and European universities. This was done in close cooperation with Italian associations, producers and institutions. Within the framework of study projects, many trips took him to France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, Chile, South Africa, Great Britain and the USA..
