Nicola Pende
Nicola Pende (born April 21, 1880 in Noicattaro , † June 8, 1970 in Rome ) was an Italian endocrinologist .
Life
He was born on April 21, 1880 in Noicattaro, where he also spent his entire childhood. After completing his medical and surgical training in Rome, he taught at the universities of Bari, Genoa and Rome. He was the founder of the University of Bari in 1925 and was its first rector.
In 1934 he was appointed senator after rejecting the nomination for the Accademia d'Italia . In the late 1930s he joined the fascists. He died in Rome on June 6, 1970 and is buried in the Campo Verano cemetery.
The term "endocrinology" goes back to him.
In 1973 a school was named after him in Noicattaro, the town he was born in, and a street in Bari in 1976 ( Via Nicola Pende ). In 2006 there was controversy about the continued existence of these names, after the book "I dieci" by Franco Cuomo had been published the year before. It dealt with the signatories of the manifesto of racist scientists , including Pende.
