Interdisciplinary exhibition illustrating several fundamental steps in the history of medicine, biology and physics in Pavia and Bologna (14th-20th centuries), with a relevant number of original instruments, preparations and documents. The exhibition was first displayed in Shanghai (Tongji University, May 17-27, 2007) and subsequently in Beijing in the prestigious venue of the China Science and Technology Museum (September 15-25, 2007). The exhibition was the result of a joint effort of various institutions: the University of Pavia (Physics Department "A. Volta" and University Museums System), the IUSS-Pavia, the University of Bologna and the Tongji University (Shanghai). Under the patronage of the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR), thousands of Chinese students and visitors had the opportunity to see and read in their own language about such a relevant part of Italy's scientific legacy. The exhibition presented several significant steps in the development of natural history, medicine and physics at the Universities of Pavia and Bologna from the 14th to the 20th century. The exhibition put a specific focus on the figures of Mondino de' Liuzzi (1270-1326: human dissection and teaching of anatomy), Marcantonio della Torre (1478-1511: anatomy and medicine), Gerolamo Cardano (1501-1576: medicine and mathematics), Gaspare Aselli (1580-1625: discovery of lymphatic vessels), Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694: the founder of microscopic anatomy), Antonio Maria Valsalva (1666-1723: anatomy of the ear), Giovan Battista Morgagni (1628-1771: the founder of pathological anatomy), Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799: artificial fecundation and volcanology), Luigi Galvani (1737-1798: the discovery of animal electricity), Alessandro Volta (1745-1827: contact electricity and the invention of the battery), Antonio Scarpa (1752-1832: anatomy and surgery), Alessandro Codivilla (1861-1912: orthopaedic surgery), Camillo Golgi (1843-1926: neuroscience and cell biology).

Abstract
Interdisciplinary exhibition illustrating several fundamental steps in the history of medicine, biology and physics in Pavia and Bologna (14th-20th centuries), with a relevant number of original instruments, preparations and documents. The exhibition was first displayed in Shanghai (Tongji University, May 17-27, 2007) and subsequently in Beijing in the prestigious venue of the China Science and Technology Museum (September 15-25, 2007). The exhibition was the result of a joint effort of various institutions: the University of Pavia (Physics Department "A. Volta" and University Museums System), the IUSS-Pavia, the University of Bologna and the Tongji University (Shanghai). Under the patronage of the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR), thousands of Chinese students and visitors had the opportunity to see and read in their own language about such a relevant part of Italy's scientific legacy. The exhibition presented several significant steps in the development of natural history, medicine and physics at the Universities of Pavia and Bologna from the 14th to the 20th century. The exhibition put a specific focus on the figures of Mondino de' Liuzzi (1270-1326: human dissection and teaching of anatomy), Marcantonio della Torre (1478-1511: anatomy and medicine), Gerolamo Cardano (1501-1576: medicine and mathematics), Gaspare Aselli (1580-1625: discovery of lymphatic vessels), Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694: the founder of microscopic anatomy), Antonio Maria Valsalva (1666-1723: anatomy of the ear), Giovan Battista Morgagni (1628-1771: the founder of pathological anatomy), Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799: artificial fecundation and volcanology), Luigi Galvani (1737-1798: the discovery of animal electricity), Alessandro Volta (1745-1827: contact electricity and the invention of the battery), Antonio Scarpa (1752-1832: anatomy and surgery), Alessandro Codivilla (1861-1912: orthopaedic surgery), Camillo Golgi (1843-1926: neuroscience and cell biology).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
