The Studio Firmano for the History of Medicine and Science is a private scientific research institute, officially recognized as legal entity by the Italian Ministry for Research, University and Education, that aims at promoting the study of the history of medicine and science in the widest international context.
At that end, the Studio Firmano collaborates with a wide range of Italian and foreign Universities, Institutes, and Research Centres by sponsoring as well as organising seminars, workshops, conferences, and congress scientific publications. Among its facilities the Studio counts a library specialized in medical history with a recently re-ordered archive and library – whose catalogues are available here – and a museum with a small but important medical collection.
