Life

After attending school, Angelo Celli studied medicine at the La Sapienza University in Rome and at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin , where he attended the lectures of Max von Pettenkofer .

After his return, he was appointed professor of hygiene at the University of Palermo in 1886 , before being appointed professor of hygiene at La Sapienza University in Rome in 1887.

In addition to his teaching activities, he was particularly concerned with researching health problems of the time. Together with Ettore Marchiafava , he investigated the malaria pathogen discovered by Alphonse Laveran in 1880 and named it Plasmodium malariae in 1885 . Through their joint work they succeeded in differentiating the pathogens of the individual types of malaria. In addition, Celli dealt with the study of the causes of cerebrospinal meningitis and he published his studies on the ethology of dysentery in 1896 . Based on his research, he made a lasting contribution to the fight against malaria and he drafted the law on the issue of quinine for parliament, which was passed in 1900 as Legge sul chinino di stato .

As a hygienist, Celli also studied the problem of the effects of diet on poorer sections of the population. He became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1901 . In 1925 the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei published his Storia della malaria nell'Agro romano , which was also published in German in 1929 by his widow Anna Celli-Fraentzel.
