Giambattista Canano practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Giambattista Canano as anatomist and professor.
Giambattista Canano was born at Ferrara in 1515.
Dissection returned in this period and overturned inherited anatomy, which had been copied without checking for centuries.
His posts were held at University of Ferrara.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
Giambattista Canano died in 1579, aged 64. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
