***There were all the people who were there at the time. There’s that Domenico Faviorinti dude A photo of Col. Ing. Domenico Fioravanti: http://theeestory.com/posts/215391What about "that Domenico Faviorinti dude"? As far as I've seen, no one has been able to actually identify him. The only information I've seen about him is that Rossi cleverly insinuated that he was a "Colonel" and made it appear that this was some sort of secret (by writing "Colonel" and then scratching it out).
Colonel Sanders cooked chicken. He as a better reputation as a cold fusion researcher than "Colonel" Faviorinti. At least we know who Colonel Sanders was and what he did. And, by the way, the silly article you linked to, apparently as "evidence", shows absolutely nothing relevant to identifying Faviorinti.
Regarding the long list of "observers". Note that no one who was not one of Rossi's partners were allowed to do any actual testing of any aspect of the dog & pony show. They were allowed to watch a bunch of pipes and boxes just sit there. They had to take Rossi's word that anything at all was actually happening.
There’s Manutencoop Facility ManagementSo the landlord came to watch the show. I don't read Italian, but while browsing their web site, I see that they do laundry services. Maybe they were hoping to take in shirts while everyone was standing around in all that steam (of course, there wasn't any steam).

***Sure, on the Oct 28 demo, because it was for the customer’s benefit not others. But the prior demos there was plenty of milling around, dismantling the piece afterwards, weighing, etc.
