Many Italian American immigrants were imbued with the spirit of gratitude transmitted by grandparents to parents and grandchildren. This spirit was the love for their new country, America, and the desire to give them something back. Anthony Fauci, the immunologist scientific advisor to every American president from Reagan to Biden and the most authoritative voice in the fight against Covid in the United States, thus remembers his choice to devote himself to medicine and research. A way to repay America which at the beginning of the twentieth century had welcomed the paternal grandparents, who left Sicily and landed in New York: Antonino Stefano Fauci (whose full name the scientist bears, Anthony Stephen) and Calogera Guardino, passed through Ellis Island, the islet where documents and health conditions were checked, gateway for millions of immigrants.

Fauci’s memories are contained in the text that we publish on this page, part of the speech that will be held on April 22 when he will inaugurate, via video link, the twenty-third national congress, online, of Siaip, the Italian Society of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, chaired by Gian Luigi Marseglia, director of the pediatric clinic at San Matteo di Pavia . On the occasion, Fauci will be given, again virtually, the keys to the city of Sciacca, in the Agrigento area, of which his family originates.

As the words of Professor Fauci testify – explains the mayor Francesca Valenti -, identity and family ties are important to us. We hope to have him with us soon. Fauci tells how his way of reciprocating the US was to choose public service. In fact, since 1984, he has directed the Niaid, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the national health agency of the Nih, the National Institutes of Health,

The invitation to the Italian congress came directly from Professor Marseglia, among the Italian authorities in the pediatric field, which explains: The Italian Society of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology gathers over two thousand pediatricians. Many are young people in whom we strongly believe and whom we support with scholarships. With Covid we have a primary scientific role, given that a disease that affects the immune system. This is why we thought of an important intervention like that of Anthony Fauci.
