Abstract
This year we celebrate the centenary of the birth of the Italian phlebologist Glauco Bassi, who head a principal role in the development of phlebology as a discipline, as well as in the Foundation of the UIP, International Union of Phlebology. Moreover, Bassi is not only a founding father of phlebology, but he represents an inspiring model for a medical teaching and practice centred on the doctor-patient relationship. The Bassi Foundation executed a testamentary disposition of Glauco Bassi to leave his library to the Italian scholar who had pursued more successfully a line of research on the defensive adaptations of the venous system in the human being. So the Bassi book fund was left to Paolo Zamboni, who in turn donated it to the Library of the Health Sciences of the University Hospital of Ferrara, constituting a Scientific Committee and becoming the President. The Bassi Library now lives at the Cona Hospital and is daily attended by students, residents, PhD, and people interested in phlebology as well.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
