(Modena, 1523 – Padua, 9.10.1562)
Gabriele Falloppia initially embarked on an ecclesiastic career but, since his youth, he had been dedicated to studying medicine and anatomy, which he practised as a self-taught individual.
In 1544, Modena’s College of Doctors appointed him to carry out the public dissection of an executed man, which marked the start of his study of medicine at the University of Ferrara where he was appointed professor of medicine in 1547. The following year, he was called to Pisa to teach anatomy and, in 1551, he came to the University of Padova to teach medicine and surgery. It was during this time in Padua that he wrote “Observationes anatomicae” which was then published in 1561.
In this work, the doctor and anatomist tried to correct certain errors by the anatomist Andrea Vesalio and described many of the discoveries he had made also thanks to the dissections carried out on human bodies. Falloppio also began carrying out dissections on children, from

First edition, first issue, very rare, of the greatest Italian anatomical book of the sixteenth century, a detailed critical commentary on Vesalius’ De humani corporis fabrica. This is a pristine copy in an untouched contemporary binding. “The large amount of new material [in the present work] included Falloppio’s investigations of primary and secondary centers of ossification, the first clear description of primary dentition, numerous contributions to the study of the muscles (especially those of the head), and the famous account of the uterine (“Falloppian”) tubes, which he correctly described as resembling small trumpets (tubae). He also gave to the placenta and vagina their present scientific names, provided a superior description of the auditory apparatus (including the first clear accounts of the chorda tympani and semicircular canals), and was the first to clearly distinguish the trochlear nerve of the eye. Vesalius responded positively to Falloppio’s work with his post
