Abstract
Girolamo Fabrici was a physician, anatomist, surgeon, and pupil and successor of Falloppia in the anatomy chair in Padua, where he built the anatomical theater. He is remembered for the exact description of the valves of the veins (without understanding the correct function). His embryological research is also important, and so the observations on the physiology of the muscles of the limbs, the pupil’s motility, phonation, uterine anatomy, and childbirth are significant. In the field of surgery, he should be remembered for the tracheotomy and the machines built for orthopedic purposes.
