Ambrosoli is highlighted the hospital of Kalongo in northern Uganda, which had 350 beds and became a place of reference for all of East-Central Africa; he lived the main years of his life there, dedicating himself especially to surgery and obstetrics and enjoying brief vacations in Italy to update himself professionally; with the coming to power of Idi Amin Dada, the activity of P. Ambrosoli, in Acholi territory, began to suffer pressure and persecutions; the hospital of Kalongo had to be evacuated and closed; such painful events hastened his death, on March 27, 1987) page 4 of cover (photograph of Ambrosoli's gravestone: Fr.
