The collection
The collection gathers a good part of the animal and human anatomical preparations created by Paolo Gorini between 1834 and 1881. The scientist's interests were primarily focused on the most common pathologies of his time, as many specimens demonstrate, and on his efforts to preserve decaying bodies.
The location
The Collezione Paolo Gorini is located inside the Ospedale Vecchio of Lodi, situated in the wonderful 15th century Chiostro della Farmacia.
