OK, D'Amato is not the best possible image for the University of Padua .... especially considering the inconsistency of its scientific research activities (zero publications indexed in Medline).
Without Federico Faggin, probably did not exist giants like Microsoft , Apple, and all the modern technology based on the microprocessor.
Obviously the great story of a great University not guarantee that everything that comes out from this University is just as great, and vice versa. For example it seems useless to remember that Bill Gates ,Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg have built and an economic empire and a technological/social revolution solely with their intelligence and their vision of the economy and technology.
Although this character have in common the fact of being outsiders, seems to me that They have achieved some success ....
