Abstract:
The Rome Policlinico Umberto I is an example of the tendency, already in place at the end of the XIX century, to reunite in a single architectural compound hospital-clinics, labortories, teaching rooms, and libraries, so as to satisfy the needs of University research and education. Guido Baccelli was the promoter of the project: his political and scientific commitment are proved by the imposing architectural structure and by the economic effort that were needed to build the Policlinico.
