Rizzoli

Francesco Rizzoli (born July 11, 1809 in Milan , † May 24, 1880 in Bologna ) was an Italian doctor and politician.

Live and act

In 1840 Rizzoli became a professor of obstetrics. In 1849 he received the chair for clinical surgery in Bologna and in 1876 in Pavia .

As an ardent patriot , Rizzoli supported his homeland's struggle for independence and was appointed to the Senato del Regno by King Umberto I in 1879 . He had a long friendship with Giuseppe Garibaldi and in 1862 he won him over as a patient.

Rizzoli bought the former Olivetan monastery of San Michele in Bosco in 1879 and bequeathed it to the Province of Bologna with the condition that it opened an orthopedic clinic there, which did not happen until 1896.
