Abstract

The Golgi Museum of the University of Pavia was established in 2012 in Palazzo Botta, the historic headquarter of the Institute of General Pathology led by Camillo Golgi. The Nobel Prize Laureate in 1906 was able to create there a prestigious laboratory attended by brilliant students and young researchers who contributed to important medical and biological achievements. Between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the Golgi Institute had a great international reputation, and marked many fields of biomedical research of the time. With the abandonment of Palazzo Botta as the seat of the University’s biological-medical institutes, the historical heritage of this great era in the history of Pavia’s science has been transformed and has recently become the seat of the Golgi Museum, still in phase of partial preparation. Part of the University Museum System of the University of Pavia, this new museum aims to preserve the material evidence of the work made by Camillo Golgi and to spread the knowledge of its importance in the history of neuroscience, cytology and infectious disease
