Museo nipiologico "Ernesto Cacace"

The Museo nipiologico "Ernesto Cacace" is hosted by the Istituto "Giannina Gaslini" in Genoa. It is a rich collection of books, photos, letters and objects collected by the great pediatrician Giovanni De Toni and dedicated by him to the founder of nipiology (i.e. study of the baby), Ernesto Cacace¹. The little museum contains also some old cradles and ancient pediatric scales.
