It\u2019s a difficult time for everyone. The coronavirus hit us with the strength of a hurricane, and it hasn\u2019t let us go yet.

A brief history of a great medical school<\/h2>\n\n

The history of healthcare in our city goes back a long time, with the hospital of San Francesco Grande, founded in 1414 at the request of two Paduan citizens: Baldo Bonafari and his wife Sibilla de Cetto.<\/p>\n\n

The hospital of San Francesco Grande was an act of charity, dedicated to welcoming and curing the sick, needy and destitute.The couple couldn\u2019t have imagined that from their charitable initiative a great medical school would have been born \u2013 one of the most important in Europe.<\/p>\n\n

The Paduan hospital occupied the space between the current roads of San Francesco, del Santo and Galileo Galilei<\/strong> and had everything that at the time rendered it its own independent institution.Moreover, as early as the first half of the 16th century it taught the first \u201cclinical\u201d lessons<\/strong> at the patients\u2019 beds, quickly becoming proper practical courses for students of medicine. <\/p>\n\n
