Abstract
WE regret to announce the death last September in his seventieth year of the eminent Italian physiologist, Prof. Luigi Mariano Patrizi, who was born at Recanati near Ancona on September 13, 1866. He studied under J. Moleschott in Rome, where he qualified in 1890. After serving as assistant to Angelo Mosso at Turin, he occupied in succession the chair of physiology at Ferrara (1894), Sassari (1896) and Bologna (1924). During the period 1911-24 he was professor of criminal anthropology at Turin. His work was chiefly concerned with the psychometry of attention, the physiology of the intellect and criminal physiology and psychiatry. His publications include a psycho-anthropological study of Leopardi and his family (1896), the physiology of the bandit Giuseppe Musolino (1904), “The Orator” (1912), “After Lombroso” (1916) and a work on the physiological measurement of the emotions and passion (1924).
