These studies, generally rather celebratory, do not allow to deduce the substantial contributions that Santoro has made in medicine in areas such as paediatrics and, more specifically, nipiology.
Methods: The sources to reconstruct the original contributions of the scientific work of Santoro are the documents kept in the historical archive of Studio Firmano. An analysis was carried out on documentation on the years of Santoro's medical training at the Universities of Rome and Padua, as well as from 1939 to 1952, in which his interest in nipiology developed. Correspondence with the main scholars of reference for nipiology represents a useful scientific tool in documenting the importance assumed in the national and regional context of the activities carried out by Santoro.
Results: It is remarkable the discover of the unpublished letter from Ernesto Cacace, the founder of Nipiology (Naples, 11 September 1945) that takes on the importance of a scientific manifesto, illustrating in detail the pioneering nipiological work carried out in Fermo.
Conclusions: Santoro founded the first Italian school of nipiological assistants, started in an Italian brephotrophy and supported, with a series of initiatives, the scientific development of the Marche regional section of the Italian Society of Nipiology, becoming a pioneer of the diffusion in Italy of the nipiology as a new experimental science.

Since the origins, the development of the historical medical tradition in Fermo and the foundation of the Studio Firmano reflects as concrete results, the deep and long experience of Mario Santoro in the academical context of the University of Rome as student, teacher and scholar.

The history of social medicine in Italy between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries... more The history of social medicine in Italy between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was characterised by a marked presence of gender and the consequent commitment of women of Jewish origin to the issues of early childhood education, as well as safeguarding of work and motherhood and health prevention with regard to social and cultural fragility. Some of the roles of women engaged in social medicine campaigns have been widely studied in the historiography of medicine, having recognized their roles and commitment to attempting to create a fair society through their expertise in medicine and health. However, there are some biographies and professional lives that are still unpublished and worthy of attention by historical medical research. Lucia Servadio, who was of Jewish origin (1900–2006), was the youngest Italian doctor of the first twenty years of the twentieth century. She successfully worked, despite the degrading identification of women at the time, in the field of...

and professional practice of midwives in the March of Fermo (La Marca, or today’s Abruzzo
and Marche regions) territory in the Napoleonic age. This study offers an unprecedented
picture of this profession, through the study of archival sources integrated with museum
objects. The case of the first midwives was analysed, starting from training at the school
of obstetrics of S. Caterina alla Ruota of Milan to the professional practice in the March
of Fermo. The activity of the local school of obstetrics at the civic hospital was also part of the process of secularisation of the «mothers» (mammane) put in place by Napoleonic institutions in order to return a formal aspect to what was once an unauthorised practice of the profession. The role and work of the professional midwife was also one of the first signs of modernity in health care in the territory.

developed notably between the 1700s and 1800s, has been the object of studies focused on the ethical nature of essays on professional codes of conduct. The article puts together an initial geographical-editorial picture of diffusion across Italy and offers a new interpretation from a historical-educational perspective. The production of the Galatei Medici needs to
be contextualised in a wider setting that includes works of similar content which address didactic aspects and medical training, in addition to etiquette and communication in the 19th-century. It concerns the rich production of prolusions, lessons and inaugural discussions
often written by the same authors of the Galatei Medici that represent a kind of link between ethical and formative contexts

If the majority of these readings displayed a positive attitude towards Santorio and his methods, others raised criticisms and condemnation, both for the lack of tabulated data in his work and because the implications of his methods legitimised the introduction of instruments as an essential mediator between the subjective self-perception of the body and the physiological reality of it.

During the Seventeenth century the Medical Faculty of the University of Fermo became an important academic centre in the Papal State. During the second half of the Seventeenth century the link between the county of Fermo and the Roman capital became much stronger in the field of medical education and medical practice. Many physicians from Fermo moved to Rome to practise and to improve their professional knowledge. The peregrinatio medica is a strategicfactor towards understanding the development of the medical profession from an outlying area of the ecclesiastical territory to a centre of excellence as the Roman capital was for medicine in the Seventeenth and Early Eighteenth centuries. The medical licence was introduced by the Roman College of physicians as essential to qualifying for medical practice not only in Rome, but in all the provinces of the Papal State. Th...

Spezioli was born in Fermo in 1642 and died in Rome in 1723. He was the personal physician of Cardinal Decio Azzolini junior, Queen Christina of Sweden and Pope Alexander VIII. There are almost 12,000 books, dating from the sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries, almost all of them on medicine or science. They are housed in the Globe Room, whose creation was made possible by the generosity of Cardinal Azzolini. The library was opened to the public in 1688.

Mario Santoro--the founder of the Studio Firmano--both in medicine and history of medicine. It uses unknown and unpublished archivistic documentation to reconstruct the history of prof. Santoro's teaching activity. It dedicates particular attention to the two institutions that prof. Santoro founded in Fermo: the institute of nipiology for professional nursing and the Studio Firmano for history of medicine and science. The research intends to demonstrate the historical and ideological continuity between the medical and historical teaching of prof. Mario Santoro.

The history of medical bibliography is like a mirror where it is possible to recognize the main features of the medical knowledge and of its development during the centuries. The paper analyzes how the idea of infectious disease is documented in the main medical bibliography of the Sixteenth and the Seventeenth centuries and how it developed in relationship with the structure of the medical bibliographies. The study offers a concrete example of the importance and usefulness of the history of medical bibliography to the historians of medicine in their research.

Only recently, medical historians have understood their importance, starting to investigate the relationship between court medicine and the medical context of the society of the time. Among these still little-known figures, to whom historiography is paying attention, there is Cesare Macchiati (1629-1675), a doctor at the Roman court of Queen Christina of Sweden from 1659 to 1675. Materials and Methods: As a court doctor, Macchiati joined the Queen on two journeys to Northern Europe, towards Sweden, respectively between 1660 and 1668, leaving about fifty letters, addressed to Cardinal Decio Azzolino Jr, as a documentation of these journeys. Results: From the study of these letters, it is possible to deduce some biographical information on court medical practice, the queen's temperament and illnesses and the circulation of a new medical knowledge at the court, which was favoured by the journey. Conclusions: The biography highlights how the role of a court doctor, which was consolidated by the experience of the journey to Europe in Macchiati's case, becomes a prerequisite for a professional rise on his return to Rome in the most important city medical institutions, such as the university, the Roman medical college at the pontifical curia, characterized by a cosmopolitan context thanks to the international professional background, developed at the Queen's court.

of medical history (what we can also call “rare medical
books”) on medical education. The authors have carried out an
analysis of academic experiences – largely Anglo-American
– where these resources have been used on the educational
level. These collections represent an underestimated and underutilised
educational potential, especially in Italy, despite
the considerable historical wealth and heritage of books and
literature available.
Furthermore, the article highlights some possible methodological
strategies for a systematic enhancement of the collections
in the context of the didactic curriculum of medical studies:
the development of a systematic scientific alliance between
professor and librarian for a pedagogical use of the collections;
the direct involvement in academic programs through
didactic planning of the use of historical-medical library
material; and the use of historical-medical bibliographies as
tools for research and understanding the evolution of medical
knowledge, to date little used in historical-medical teaching.
With specific reference to countries such as Italy, defined by
a noteworthy wealth of historical-medical book collections,
there is a potential that paradoxically still awaits to be adequately
utilised, with the exception of some pioneering and
learned experiences. This situation is due to the lack of pedagogical
pathways and approaches elaborated according to a
common strategy among teachers, researchers and librarians.

From Medical Officers to Family Doctors: Historical and Training Paths This article reconstructs ... more From Medical Officers to Family Doctors: Historical and Training Paths This article reconstructs the historical path, which passes from medical officers to family doctors-today's general practitioners-between the 19 th and 20 th centuries, highlighting the juridical, professional and training aspects, which determined the uniqueness of these figures in a medical context. Even today, these figures are the only ones in the medical context whose training takes place outside the academic area, unlike what happens in other European countries. The key role of general practitioners in the territory and the relationship with patients, family and social context requires a rethinking about their training, taking into account the complexity of General Practice, which cannot be limited only to technical biomedical knowledge. Medical Humanities can play a strategic role for a reform in the training of general practitioners to be hopefully brought back to the academic field, in also defining all those transversal skills at a methodological level for a coherent and effective training at a professional level.

In realtà questo opuscolo, edito a Firenze nel 1878 1 , consistente di appena quattro pagine merita una lettura attenta per una duplice ragione: da un lato si pone in perfetta continuità e coerenza col resto della produzione scientifica paciniana 2 , esprimendo in maniera sintetica -e quasi trasversale-il contesto formativo universitario che fa da sfondo alle sue scoperte di ricercatore ed alla sua esperienza didattica di studente e docente, dall'altro si inserisce nella pubblicistica che, nella seconda metà dell'ottocento, affianca gli interventi parlamentari in materia di riforma universitaria. Per quanto concerne quest'ultimo aspetto l'opera del Pacini, assume il tono di risposta polemica all'intervento dell'on.le Francesco Magni, edito nel 1870, in occasione della riforma della facoltà medica dell'università di Roma, proprio sul * Studio Firmano per la storia dell'arte medica e della scienza-Centro di documentazione e studi sulla storia dell'università di Macerata -università degli Studi di Macerata.
