I was headed to get a sandwish at the common cafeteria of the University in Ancona, Montedago, when I found this little guy standing in the cold, looking like he was dying. I picked him up and brought him back to my office, kept him warm, and after a few hours he was good to go again. The next day he came back to the office to say thank you!
Thanks to Prof Carlo Cerrano who identified him! :-)
