MUSEO CAMILLO GOLGI

The Museum was established in 2012 in Palazzo Botta with the intention of reconstructing, within its own walls, the history of one of Europe's most famous biomedical research centres at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In fact, Camillo Golgi, the first Italian to receive the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1906, was able to create a world-famous scientific school in his 'Laboratory of General Pathology and Histology'. In the rooms of the Museum, visitors can appreciate the original furnishings and research instruments of the time, testifying to the greatness of the results achieved. In the laboratory, in fact, Camillo Golgi discovered the internal reticular apparatus, Adelchi Negri the rabies bodies, Emilio Veratti described the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Visiting these spaces makes it possible to retrace the entire history of an extraordinary place of science through the human and scientific events of Golgi, his masters and his many students.
