In 1845, he began his medical studies in Pavia, where he attended Bartolomeo Panizza's anatomy courses.

[3] Following these events, he went to Vienna, where he completed his medical studies and graduated in 1852. He became the student and then assistant of Ernst Wilhelm von Brücke, professor of physiology at the University of Vienna. [3] He then left for Berlin, where he followed the lectures of Brücke's friend, Emil du Bois-Reymond, and Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg. Thereafter went to Bonn, Halle, and Utrecht. In October 1857, he was named professor of physiology at the University of Krakow. In 1859, Lombardy was liberated from the Austrians following the Armistice of Villafranca: Giuseppe Albini, despite his important position at the University of Krakow, resigned and returned to Italy to work as a natural history teacher at the secondary school of Casale Monferrato. [2] In January 1860, he was appointed professor of physiology in Parma and in October of the same year, at the suggestion of Angelo Camillo De Meis , he was hired by the University of Naples, where in February 1861 he became director of the Institute of Physiology, a position he held until 1905. [3] On 27 October 1877 he was elected foreign honorary member of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium. [1] He died in Turin on 18 January 1911 and was buried in the chapel of Abbiate Guazzone , near Como. [3]
Giuseppe Albini was particularly interested in optics and chemistry and published articles on glandular secretions, embryology, and nerve physiology. He described small fibrous nodules on the margins of the mitral and tricuspid valves of the heart, residues of fetal tissue, which now bear his name: Albini's nodules. [4] [5]
The University of Pavia is a university located in Pavia, Lombardy, Italy. There was evidence of teaching as early as 1361, making it one of the oldest universities in the world. It was the sole university in Milan and the greater Lombardy region until the end of the 19th century. In 2022, the university was recognized by the Times Higher Education among the top 10 in Italy and among the 300 best in the world. Currently, it has 18 departments and 9 faculties. It does not have a main campus; its buildings and facilities are scattered around the city, which is in turn called "a city campus". The university caters to more than 20,000 students who come from Italy and all over the world.
