Life

Alois Monti was the son of a high Italian judge . The family came to this city through his father's appeal to the Supreme Court in Vienna. He received his medical training in Vienna, where he received his Dr. of medicine and in 1863 Dr. doctorate in surgery . At the same time he completed a chemistry degree , which he obtained with the Dr. phil. Graduated in 1863. After training in paediatrics under Franz Mayr , he became assistant to Hermann von Widerhofers (1832–1901) at the St. Anna Children's Hospital in Vienna and ran this institution several times on his behalf. He was married to Marietta, nee Lem, and had a daughter, Maria, called "Mizzi". In 1870 he completed his habilitation as a private lecturer in paediatrics. In 1887 he was appointed associate professor . At the same time, he was appointed director of the association for the establishment and promotion of sea hospices and asylums for the sick . From 1893 he was director of the Vienna General Polyclinic . There he trained numerous paediatricians and added an inpatient department to the outpatient department. He passed away after suffering from a stroke for a long time . Numerous celebrities took part in the funeral services, such as members of the imperial family, the representatives of the medical sciences, the highest aristocracy, the city council, the heads of the authorities and the employees of the orphaned polyclinic. His grave is in the Dornbacher Friedhof in the 17th district of Hernals in Vienna .

Scientific achievements

Monti was instrumental in founding hospices for scrofulous and rachitic children. For about 20 years he was the director of the Vienna Association that built the Maria Theresa Lake Hospice in San Pelagio (near Rovigno ) and the Kaiser Franz Joseph Children's Hospice in Salzbach (near Bad Ischl ). His numerous scientific works deal with almost all pathological disorders during childhood. The introduction of the initially controversial diphtheria serum treatment in Austria is largely thanks to his initiative.

In 1877 he and Adolf Aron Baginsky (1843–1918) founded the “Centralzeitung für Kinderheilkunde”, which later appeared as the “Archive for Paediatrics” and since 1972 as the “Zeitschrift für Klinische Pädiatrie”. Since 1897 he published “Pediatrics in Individual Representations” in informal booklets.
