Abstract
An Aristotelian philosopher and a physician, Pietro Trapolino was a professor of philosophia naturalis and medicine at the University of Padua. He studied at Padua under the Dominican Francesco Securo de Nardò and Nicoletto Vernia. He spent his teaching career there, where he was Pietro Pomponazzi’s professor and later colleague and friend. His name is mostly linked with his commentaries on Aristotelian works (Physica, De caelo, De anima), in which he kept a moderate Averroism and showed a significant Thomistic inclination.
