It may be coincidence but my father had a cousin sali who was married to a physician, Max Kula.He comes from the region being discussed and studied medicine in Italy . He practiced medicine in Israel. At the time of his death he lived on Rechov Remez in Tel Avi . Please let me know if there is any connection.
