123. An expert called ‘Battitore’ ( Eng - Hitter or Batter) is chosen for the selection
process of X. He uses a special hammer to check each and every piece of X (in
addition to the visual and organoleptic control with the use of a needle) to
“listen” for defects inside by tapping them with it. The sound of the hammer
hitting changes with the ripening time of X. It becomes weaker and sounds like a
solid structure. The internal structure of the X becomes more compact and
grainy as it ages. If he confirms it as “okay”, then it is ready to be sold.
Sadly, there are no schools to become a battitore yet. The only way one can
become a Battitore is to practice and learn from another very experienced
specialist.
ID X which is one of the most expensive of its kind and thus so thoroughly

127. In 2007, a study based on the autopsy reports and memoirs from X's physician
as well as other sources compared descriptions of the lesions found in X's
stomach with modern images of benign and cancerous gastric lesions. The
paper concluded that the lesions were most likely cancer. It was likely a result of
Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that damages stomach; the salt-preserved foods
X consumed on extended military campaigns may have also contributed to X’s
demise along with the medical misadventures. X’s doctors gave him poisonous
Tartar Emetic for gastrointestinal issues and a large dose of Calomel( Mercurous
Chloride) as purgative. The researchers concluded that these drugs , combined
with X’s already deteriorating health , led to a disturbance in heart that
ultimately resulted in death.
Identify X whose real cause of death is still a controversy.
