FULL TITLE AND AUTHOR On the life and works of Giacomo Tommasini. Parma, for Giuseppe Paganino, 1847. Giuseppe Bacchi. CONTEXT AND SIGNIFICANCE The memory belongs to the genre of nineteenth-century scientific biographies dedicated to celebrating the great figures of Italian culture. Giacomo Tommasini was a central figure in Italian medicine in the first half of the nineteenth century. University professor, clinician, and innovator of medical practice, he contributed to the training of generations of physicians and to the renewal of health education. Giuseppe Bacchi’s volume arises as a scientific and civil homage to a figure deeply linked to the city of Parma and to the Italian university environment. The publication also testifies to the value attributed in the nineteenth century to the memory of illustrious scholars: the biography is not only personal celebration, but a tool to preserve the history of scientific achievements and the city’s cultural identity. BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF THE AUTHOR Giuseppe Bacchi was a Parma-based doctor and author active in the nineteenth century. His output includes scientific and biographical writings related to medicine and the history of Italian scholars. With this memoir dedicated to Tommasini, he contributed to preserving the memory of one of the most important representatives of the Parma medical school.
