==Was Remondino circumcised?==
Remondino's distaste and dislike for the prepuce or [[foreskin]] prompts one to ask how a man could stand to have prepuce which he detested attached to his body? History does not tell us his circumcision status, but modern psychology may give us a clue. We now know that [[Adamant father syndrome| circumcised men who become fathers]] and [[circumcised doctors]] express a preference for circumcision as Remondino did. Moreover, circumcision is a traumatic procedure. Traumatized persons have a tendency to repeat the trauma on others. Remondino performed numerous circumcisions. If Remondino was circumcised, how would it have occurred? When Remondino was born in Turin in 1846, only Jews circumcised their infant boys, which was done by a ''mohel''. There is some speculation that Remondino was descended from Sephardic Jews, so he may have had a ritual Jewish circumcision.
