PREVENZIONE E BENESSERE IN TEMPO DI PESTE: CURA DELLA PERSONA E DIETETICA NEL CONTRIBUTO DEL MEDICO SICILIANO GIOVANNI FILIPPO INGRASSIA (1576).

- Abstract
The essay aims to highlight Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia's (1510-1580) contribution towards identifying and defining a healthy personal hygiene and dietary regime preventing the spreading of diseases, according to the 'humoralist' tradition, during the epidemic wave that struck Sicily in 1575-76. This research, in connection with recent studies on such topics, brings to light hitherto little-known aspects of the eminent Sicilian physician's scientific personality and adds to the literature on healthy living.
