The Museum of Pathological Anatomy is located in the historic center of Padua and is part of the University Museums of the University of Padua. The Museum of Pathological Anatomy of the University of Padua questions how the human body questions itself and tries to give answers by offering the public a journey through the diseases that have characterized man from the past to the present day. Pathology, before Giovan Battista Morgagni, was based on the idea that the functioning of the human body was regulated by four humors - blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile - on which all physiological and pathological processes depended. Illness was a consequence of the "humoral" imbalance. With anatomical dissection, organic alterations of the body began to be observed randomly. Morgagni for the first time associated the patient's symptom in life with the lesions of the organs observable in the corpse. By systematically studying the anatomical causes of diseases, he came to formulate a first classification of pathologies. Today, thanks to increasingly precise tools, it is possible to diagnose pathologies down to the molecular level. The collections, often represented by more unique than rare specimens, photograph on the one hand the living conditions and pathologies that affected the human being in the eighteenth-nineteenth century, on the other hand, on the other hand, the advances that have been achieved in the medical field in disease prevention and treatment. Today the Museum has among its activities the preservation and study of the finds themselves, which thanks to multidisciplinary research find new life and enrich the visitor's path.
