Tito Vanzetti

Tito Vanzetti (29 April 1809, Venice – 6 January 1888, Padua) was a surgeon and professor of medicine of the 19th century.

Several years later, he was appointed professor of clinical surgery and ophthalmology at the University of Kharkiv.

In 1853 he returned to Padua as a professor of clinical surgery.

[1] Vanzetti is credited for introducing a procedure of manual compression for treatment of popliteal aneurysms.

Together with other 16 professors, he was dismissed in 1866, after the annexation of Venetia to Italy, because of his position of support to old Austrian rule.
