ABSTRACT

The Italian Universities have distinguished themselves since their beginning in different fields; one of them, if not the most important, was the Chair of Medicine. One of these universities is the Padova University that was founded 1222, establishing itself as the second most important after the University of Bologna. In spite of the difficulties it had to face, as did most other universities during the medieval period, it was able to continue to excell and became consolidated once again during the Renaissance period as one of the most outstanding universities in Europe. The University of Bologna and the Padua University shared the leadership in teaching during this period. The Padua university kept its lectures full with teachers and students of great fame such as Andreas Vesalio, Gabriele Falopio, William Harvey, Giovanni Battista Morgagni, Antonio Scarpa, just to name a few. In this article, we discuss the failures and successes the University experienced since it beginning, from its opening to the Renaissance, and, last but not least, we mention the great influence that some of the teachers and students had, and still have, on the art and science of medicine.
