Giovanni Rasori

He began studying at the university of that city with results so brilliant that he deserved the interest of Ferdinand, Duke of Parma that allowed him to complete his studies at the University of Florence, Pavia, London and Paris, where he remained fascinated by the illuminist and pre-revolutionary climate of the time.

[2] Rasori graduated in medicine and philosophy, he immediately gained fame by devoting himself to translating the works of the Scottish physician John Brown.

In this capacity he was sent to Genoa to decide and coordinate the sanitary operations necessary to eradicate the epidemic of intestinal fever that had hit the city, following the prolonged and joint siege by the Austrian troops and the British navy.

On November 26, 1814 , Rasori was arrested while participating in a meeting of anti-Austrian conspirators, better known as the " Brescian-Milanese military conspiracy".

Rasori dedicated his last twenty years to the study and practice of the medical profession in the city of Milan, where he died in 1837.
