Abstract:"In this book, the reader is literally taken by hand and accompanied to observe the wonders of the Morgagni Pathological Anatomy Museum which, besides collecting documents and writings by Giovanni Battista Morgagni, houses over 1500 preparations, dry, alcoholic or formalin, tannins; these finds not only document the most terrible morbidities and dysfunctions, but also open up a window of what it meant to be ill two or three hundred years ago. Places ahead of the incredible architecture of the anatomical machine , we can not help but be admired as children in the face of strange marching. The pathological body, which is shown in detail in these pages with a subtlety of detail, is a free body, forgetting of every limit, in which the passage of the illness leaves the carved carved and unpredictably marked until it becomes a meeting of science and art. That's why the Morgagni Museum is a rich place not only for history and medicine, but also for the most fertile kind of enchantment, which leaves interdicted and disturbed." -- Publisher's description
"Traveling on the double track of historical-scientific deepening and artistic and literary suggestions, the texts of curator Ivan Cenzi are alongside the images of Carlo Vannini, where the anatomical preparations stand out on the black background revealing a plastic and luminous beauty that nothing has envy the works of the greatest masters of sculpture. The museum's scientific and scientific records are complemented and enriched by the research unit of the Institute of Pathological Anatomy of Padua (Dr. Alberto Zanatta, Dr. Fabio Zampieri, Prof. Maurizio Rippa Bonati and Prof. Gaetano Thiene)." -- Publisher's description
