English abstract
By placing hospitals centre stage and by focusing on a ‘long’ seventeenth century, this chapter advances a new interpretation of the anatomical tradition that flourished in early modern Rome. It explores hospitals as teaching sites for both surgeons and physicians and as key venues for innovative intellectual exchanges, including the development of research into the causes of patients’ death, which was fostered by the routine practice of dissection.
