Today, November 8 is World Radiology Day, dedicate

Today, November 8 is World Radiology Day, dedicated to radiology as an essential tool in patient treatment!  This image from London’s Wellcome Collection, is one of a series of first X-rays produced on this day, November 8 in 1895 by German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Using his wife’s hand, notice her wedding ring, Röntgen immediately recognized the medical application of his discovery.

In not much over a century since its inception as a medical tool, radiology has advanced tremendously and developed as its own medical speciality.  Fundamentally, radiology would have little use if practitioners did not have a command of human anatomy.

At its core, radiology is Anatomy Alive!   Happy World Radiology Day!

👻🎃Happy Halloween from Anatomia Italiana!👽💀

Today, October 15, is World Anatomy Day, declared

Today, October 15, is World Anatomy Day, declared to honor the founder of modern human anatomy in the medical curriculum, Andreas Vesalius, on the date of his birth in 1514!

Vesalius authored De Humani Corporis Fabrica, the first highly accurate book on human anatomy while a professor at the University of Padua, just outside the city of Venice, in 1543.

Enjoy these images from an original copy of the Fabrica in the collection of London’s Wellcome Library. Take note of the highly accurate anatomical illustrations that are works of art in their own right. Produced from woodblock engravings from the studio of Titian, a Venetian Renaissance Master, the Fabrica is the quintessential example of Art and Anatomy Connected in Italy!

Today is also a special day for anatomists in the Italian community considering that anatomy as a modern science began in Italy, and that October is Italian Heritage Month in the USA!

💀 Happy World Anatomy Day!💀
🇮🇹 Happy Italian Heritage Month!🇮🇹

In continued recognition of October as Italian Her

In continued recognition of October as Italian Heritage Month, today’s post is in honor of October 4 as the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Italy!

The first image is at the Convent of Le Celle, near Cortona, Tuscany. This hermitage was built by Saint Francis in the 13th century, and is surrounded by natural beauty. The convent promotes tranquility and spiritual contemplation, in keeping with the tradition of Saint Francis. The holiness of this mountain retreat is beyond words, and was also visited by Saint Anthony of Padua, a member of the Franciscan Order.

The next two images are Baroque paintings: Saint Francis in Prayer (1606), by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio; and Saint Francis Held by an Angel (1612) by Orazio Gentileschi. Both paintings are exhibited in Palazzo Barberini, Rome.

The final two images are the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, Umbria, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Italy and all of Christendom. Built in the 13th century shortly after the death of Saint Francis, its interior is frescoed by the likes of Giotto who introduced perspective and naturalism into art, establishing the foundations of Italian painting. The mortal remains of Saint Francis, as well as those of his closest companions are interred in a crypt beneath the lower basilica.

Happy Feast of Saint Francis!

In celebration of October as Italian Heritage Mont

In celebration of October as Italian Heritage Month, shared here proudly is my annual post of my maternal grandfather, Leonardo Giuliano, circa 1920, over a century ago, in his Carabinieri uniform, most likely on the day of his commissioning into service.

The Carabinieri is the Italian military police, a proud branch of the Italian Armed Forces, as well as a trusted and prestigious law enforcement institution.  Leonardo came to the United States from Italy as a young man, started a business as a barber and real estate entrepreneur in Philadelphia, married my Grandmother, Rose Rocco (born in Calabria, Italy) and had five daughters, one of whom is my Mother, Catherine.

I have fond memories of when Leonardo lived with us towards the end of his eventful life. I recall him pouring me a little glass of red wine when I was maybe six or seven years old, and him telling me it was “good for my blood”, a fact since confirmed by medical research!

To those of you with fond memories of and great pride in your Italian heritage, and to all of you in love with Italian culture (cuisine, wine, music, painting, sculpture, architecture, science, and language) Happy Italian Heritage Month! 🇮🇹

Today, August 24 is the Feast of Saint Bartholomew

Today, August 24 is the Feast of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle!

Martyred by being skinned alive, Bartholomew is therefore the patron saint of leather makers. As a result of his martyrdom, in art he is commonly depicted as holding his flayed skin and a knife.

Such depictions offered artists the unique opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of musculature, and no where is that more dramatically displayed than in the Cathedral (or Duomo) of Milan, Italy.

Placed high upon a pedestal and along the right-wing of the transept, Saint Bartholomew Skinned by sculptor Marco d’Agrate (1562) is an exercise in both art and anatomy.

The saint drapes his skin across his shoulders, holds a knife in his right hand and in his left he clutches the gospel he proclaimed. While not entirely anatomically accurate, the sculpted musculature indicates the artist had a deep grasp of human structure, and most certainly conducted human dissection.

The first seven images here are various angles of Marco d’Agrate’s 16th century sculpture, followed by a photo celebrating the stunning Gothic facade of the Milan Cathedral that houses this masterpiece.

The next image is Saint Bartholomew at San Giovanni in Laterano, Rome, by Pierre Le Gros the Younger in the 18th century, while the last image is Saint Bartholomew from a detail of Michelangelo’s 16th century Last Judgement on the back wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City.

In these last two images Bartholomew is not flayed, yet notice in both depictions he holds his skin and a blade. Interestingly, most scholars agree that Michelangelo placed his self portrait in the skin held by Bartholomew.

Here again we see another elegant example of Art and Anatomy Connected in Italy!

On this day, August 21, in 1911, Leonardo’s Mona

On this day, August 21, in 1911, Leonardo’s Mona Lisa was stolen by Italian handyman Vincenzo Peruggia from the Louvre. Peruggia and two accomplices hid in the museum until it closed, snatched the painting and walked right out the door.

Peruggia hid the painting for over two years, and then tried to sell it to The Uffizi in Florence attempting to return the masterpiece to Italy. The scheme backfired when the director of the Uffizi called the police. Peruggia spent six months in prison, and the painting was returned to France.

At that time Mona Lisa was considered a relatively minor work by Leonardo, but the ensuing worldwide publicity heightened her stature.

Sadly, Mona Lisa has had a difficult life, as not only has the painting been stolen, but has been vandalized several times.

In 1956 a vandal attempted to take a razor blade to the painting, and later that year a Bolivian man tossed a rock at it. Thankfully it was already behind glass, preventing any damage.

In 1974, while on tour in Japan, a 25-year-old Japanese woman tried to spray paint the canvas in red, causing 20 to 30 droplets of paint to land on Leonardo’s gem, which thankfully were removed by restorers.

In 2009, a Russian woman smashed a teacup against the painting in protest over being denied French citizenship.

And just this year, in what appeared to be a protest against climate change, a 36-year-old man disguised as a woman in a wheel chair tossed a cake at the painting. The event was caught on video and posted on social media, shocking art lovers across the globe as they witnessed cake smeared on the glass atop the iconic image within minutes of the assault.  Despite being subjected to theft and vandalism, Mona Lisa endures, gazing outward with her curious smile, awaiting her millions of visitors each year.

Buona domenica a tutti! Bust of the Savior, also

Buona domenica a tutti!

Bust of the Savior, also known as Salvator Mundi, (1679) is the last sculpture by baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, when the artist was 81 years old. Considered lost and "rediscovered" in 2001, it is displayed at Basilica of Saint Sebastian at the Catacombs, Rome.
