Prof. Rosario La Rosa passed away on July 28, 2022. This sad news was a bolt from the blue for all who knew him. The entire ENT community shares the pain of his family. He was born in Canicattini Bagni (SR); after graduating from high school, he enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Bologna where he graduated in December 1972. He obtained a specialisation in Otolaryngology and Cervico-Facial Pathology at the University of Modena in October 1975. From 1973 to 1998, he worked continuously in the ENT division at the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna as an assistant. Since 1995, he has been adjunct professor at the ENT Clinic of Pavia, teaching “Techniques of functional and aesthetic surgery of the nose”. Since January 1999, he has directed the operating unit of Otolaryngology at the Villa Chiara Clinic in Bologna. Since the beginning of his clinical experience, he has turned to the problems of rhinology. His scientific and research activity involved nasal fluid dynamics and subsequently in the treatment of the complex clinical condition of “empty nose syndrome”.

In Memoriam of

Rosario La Rosa
Prof. Rosario La Rosa passed away on July 28, 2022. This sad news was a
bolt from the blue for all who knew him. The entire ENT community shares
the pain of his family. He was born in Canicattini Bagni (SR); after graduating
from high school, he enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the
University of Bologna where he graduated in December 1972. He obtained
a specialisation in Otolaryngology and Cervico-Facial Pathology at the Uni-
versity of Modena in October 1975. From 1973 to 1998, he worked continu-
ously in the ENT division at the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna as an assistant.
Since 1995, he has been adjunct professor at the ENT Clinic of Pavia, teaching
“Techniques of functional and aesthetic surgery of the nose”. Since January
1999, he has directed the operating unit of Otolaryngology at the Villa Chiara
Clinic in Bologna. Since the beginning of his clinical experience, he has turned
to the problems of rhinology. His scientific and research activity involved na-
sal fluid dynamics and subsequently in the treatment of the complex clinical
condition of “empty nose syndrome”.
In the field of Italian Rhinology, he was a leader and a master, and there are
many colleagues who he has led in training towards nasal surgery.
All those who have had the opportunity to meet Prof. La Rosa were impressed
by his unique ability to put at ease any interlocutor, be it a young doctor, a
patient or a peer.
He was affectionately called Saro by all, he was a cultured gentleman, bril-
liant in dialectics, had a jovial character, knew how to be ironic, satirical, was
never offensive and always respect for others. During congresses, there were
often crowds of colleagues around him listening to his speeches. His phrases
pronounced on these occasions were very famous, such as:
“Allora picciotti di prima che si dice?…novità…..novità?”
Certainly, we all lost a great friend and a truly unforgettable person who could
still give so much from the human and professional side. We will miss you.
