History.
The study of anatomy in Turin began in 1563, with the arrival in town of Savona scholar Angelo Visca, but it was only in 1739 that it was the first
his hometown, at the Sant'Anna fraction. While in the courtroom, Orsolano listened to his sentence with indifference.
The University of Turin, on the day of the sentence, sent three surgeons to "dissect the corpse" and take away the head and testicles, described by doctors as "bulkier than usual". His skull was then brought to the Museum of Anatomy, and a cast of the head is still preserved at the Museum of Human Anatomy Luigi Rolando in Turin.
