PIETRO CANETTA, CRONOLOGIA DELL’OSPEDALE MAGGIORE DI MILANO, MILANO, TIPOGRAFIA L.F. COGLIATI, 1884, 178 P.
The
volume contains a chronology of events "most salient" in the words of the archivist Pietro Canetta,
of Ospedale Maggiore from its origins to 1884 (publication date), distributed by subjects. The data
are the result of a survey carried out by examination of the official acts and orders of all
administration board. Although "work [was] born as a research tool aimed at hospitaller Representation
and archivists rather than spreading to the general public", is now a valuable introduction to the history
of the institution, full of news and anecdotes.
