Specialist Notes
Distinguished by a spirit of adventure, curiosity and an insatiable desire to know Prospero Alpini (Marostica 1553-Padua 1616), he was an Italian physician and botanist. In fact, the contributions he made to both medicine and botany are noteworthy.

Remembered with pleasure by lovers of the cup of coffee since he was the first to describe the coffee plant and its therapeutic uses, in the medical field he published his most famous work which was widely successful and widely distributed, the De praesagienda vita et morte aegrotantium: the first modern treatise on semiotics in which the symptoms of various diseases are accurately described, from which to infer the state, course and outcome
