129. Assiduous

From, “Giuseppe Quintarelli, Revered Vintner, Dies at 84,” by Eric Asimov, 1/16/12, The New York Times:

“Giuseppe, Silvio’s youngest son, started working on the estate in the 1950s, and worked assiduously to improve methods of farming and making wine. He extended the domain and was relentlessly experimental even as he adhered to traditional techniques.”

Assiduous: constant in application or attention; diligent; unceasing
