Dr. Bresciani is the director of the San Pablo Leper Colony. Even though he has almost no money or resources at his command, he presides over a group of patients with remarkably high morale and manages to do his own research on the side. Importantly, Dr. Bresciani encourages the lepers to form their own government within the colony, helping them form a microcosmic society based on equality.
