Santiago Dexeus who succeed Prof De Palo as President of IFCPC writes:
Giuseppe De Palo devoted his whole life to study “ The Lower Genital Tract Pathology”. His text which was written by himself and in collaboration with Santiago Dexeus and W. Chanen, has been a fundamental shift for everyone who wants to begin in women’s pathology. He was a lovely man, he took care of his friends but above all this, he was a Scientist who looked always for the Truth. We’ll have an indelible memory of him and his death is already a great loss for us.”
“ Giuseppe De Palo dedicó toda su vida al estudio de “la patología del tracto genital inferior”. Su libro escrito en colaboración con Santiago Dexeus y W Chanen ha sido una herramienta fundamental para todos aquellos quieran iniciarse en la patología de la mujer. Era un hombre encantador, que cuidaba a sus amigos y por encima de todo fue un científico que busco siempre la verdad. Tendremos un recuerdo de él imborrable y su muerte es, ya, una gran pérdida para nosotros”.
