- Resum
- Andrea Bacci (1524-1600) was one of the illustrious physicians coming from the Marche region and active in Rome in the early modern period. In fact, he was born in Sant'Elpidio a Mare, completed his university studies in Siena, and then moved to Rome, after working as a municipal physician in small towns. In Rome, where he spent the rest of his life, he belonged to cardinals' courts, became personal physician of Sixtus V, pope from 1585 to 1590, taught medical simples at the university, directed the Vatican gardens and composed many works, the most important of which were two encyclopedias: one on waters, De thermis, the other on wines, De naturali vinorum historia. The article aims to present Bacci's life and work based on the research carried out thus far, delving into some aspects concerning Bacci's relationship with the city of Rome, which must be considered his muse and patron, and reconstructing its evolution.
