Luigi Calori practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Luigi Calori as Italian physician (1807-1896).
Luigi Calori was born at San Pietro in Casale in 1807. His recorded nationality is Italy. He trained at University of Bologna.
Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.
His posts were held at University of Bologna.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
Recognition followed: Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus.
That the work was done from Italy matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Luigi Calori died in 1896, aged 89. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
