Life
Giovanni Battista Palletta was probably born on March 15, 1748 in Montecrestese near Domodossola, both Piedmont . He spent his school years in of Jesuits established college in Brig ( Wallis ), which was then just to Savoy belonged, as his birthplace. Among other things, he enjoyed extensive foreign language lessons, which should prove to be very beneficial in his further life. He began studying medicine in Milan, which was then home to one of the best medical faculties in Italy.
He then moved to Padua , where, like Antonio Scarpa , who was four years his junior, under the influence of Morgagni, he began to devote himself to anatomy and received his doctorate in this subject. Then he received from Maria Theresia the offer to take over the chair of anatomy at the planned but not realized university in Mantua . Instead, he returned to Milan around 1775, now 27 years old, and received his doctorate in surgery at the University of Pavia in 1778 . He returned to Milan, where he was first deputy and in 1787 primary surgeon at the Ospedale maggiore di Milano .
He had the misfortune of subluxating the head of the left femur back in 1817 and remained limping.
