In 1772, the couple moved to their own home at Galeazzi, where she and her spouse established a laboratory for the studies of the reflexes of the animal anatomy.

Lucia Galeazzi Galvani was actively engaged in the experiments; the couple also collaborated with Antonio Muzzi.

Lucia Galeazzi Galvani also was active as the medical assistant of her husband in his work as a surgeon and obstetrician.
