The Anatomical Theatre of Padua, Northern Italy, is the first permanent anatomical theatre in the world.[1] Still preserved in the Palazzo del Bo,[2] it was inaugurated in 1595 by Girolamo Fabrici of Acquapendente, according to the project of Paolo Sarpi[3] and Dario Varotari.[4] This theatre constituted the model for the anatomical theatres built during the seventeenth century in the main universities of Europe: all would have been based on the Paduan archetype.[5] It is the symbol of a successful period in the University of Padua's history,[6] and it is considered one of the most important achievements for the study of anatomy during the sixteenth century.
