Luigi Galvani's tomb

The remains of Luigi Galvani are preserved - next to those of his wife Lucia Galeazzi - in a lateral chapel of the church of the Corpus Domini, in Bologna (via Tagliapietre, 19).

On the external wall of the church, there is the following inscription: "ENTRO QUESTE MURA / SONO LE OSSA / DI LUIGI GALVANI".

In the same church - famous for containing the incorrupted body of XVth Century saint Catherine de' Vigri - the celebrated woman scientist Laura Bassi is also buried.

Galvani's body had been previously buried in the monumental cemetery of Bologna, "La Certosa"1.
