The Pathological Anatomy section of the Morgagni Museum presents a series of valuable exhibits, related to medical practice at the University of Padua, offering the public a journey through the diseases that have characterized mankind from the past to the present day.
More than 1,300 pathological specimens are preserved here, preserved using various techniques, dry, in liquid and through tannization, an artificial mummification created by Lodovico Brunetti (1813-1899), founder of the first museum of pathological anatomy at the University of Padua. The collections, often represented by specimens that are more unique than rare, photograph, on the one hand, the living conditions and pathologies that affected human beings between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, and, on the other hand, the advances that were achieved in the medical field in the prevention and treatment of diseases.
