Everything about Angelo Celli totally explained
Angelo Celli (
1857,
Cagli –
1914,
Rome) was an
Italian physician and
zoologist who studied
malaria.
Celli graduated in medicine in 1878 at the
Sapienza University of Rome, where he became
hygiene professor. In 1880 with
Ettore Marchiafava he studied a new
protozoan discovered by
Alphonse Laveran and which they called
Plasmodium. Subsequently it was shown to be to be the causative agent of malaria. He studied the biology and pathogenesis of malarial plasmodium for years after this working with Ettore Marchiafava,
Amico Bignami,
Giovanni Battista Grassi and
Giuseppe Bastianelli.
Angelo Celli is famous in Rome (a
marble sculpture of him is in the "Biblioteca dell'Istituto d'Igiene “G. Santarelli” in the Città Universitaria near
Pincio) for his achievements as a hygienist,
sociologist and deputy. After the formation of the Chinino_di_stato

) a state organisation controlling prices of drugs, preventing sales of illegal or counterfeit drugs and prosecuting speculators he ensured that this applied to malaria medicines.The drugs were soon supplied free to the poor.
At the time the
Pontine Marshes, the wetlands in
Tuscany for instance
Maremma and
Basilicata were malarial areas .
Francisco Saverio Nitti asserted that
Atella, as an example, remained deserted until the adoption of the laws passed by the Chinino di Stato.Since the populations were illiterate and had a
fatalistic attitude to malaria “Le Scuole per i Contadini dell'Agro Romano e le Paludi Pontine” in English, "Schools for the Peasants of Agro Romana (vast areas of land around Rome)and Paludi Pontine (Pontine Marshes)" to educate and inform them. This scheme was subsequently adopted by the
Argentine and
Greece.
Celli's scientific and social achievements led to his receiving
Laurea Honoris Causa from the
University of Athensand the
Royal Society for the Promotion of Health in London.He was awarded the
Mary Kingsley medal by the
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
