	Rocky Road: Ulisse Aldrovandi
		Ulisse Aldrovandi was a true Renaissance man, living between the lifetimes of da Vinci and Galileo, and rooted in both classical and religious sensibilities.
		Aldrovandi established one of the most acclaimed curiosity cabinets in European history, containing more than 18,000 specimens, according to his written description from 1595.
		Of the visitors to Aldrovandi's museum, only the cream of the crop were asked to sign his "book of friends," yet over the years he collected more than 1,500 signatures.

	Ulisse Aldrovandi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ulisse Aldrovandi (11 September 1522 - 10 November 1605) was an Italian naturalist, the moving force behind Bologna's botanical garden, one of the first in Europe.
		Aldrovandi's noble family sent him to apprentice with merchants, but he found his vocation, after studying humanities and law at the universities of Bologna and Padua and becoming a notary.
		Due to a dispute on the composition of a popular medicine with the pharmacists and doctors of Bologna in 1575 he was suspended from all public position for five years.

	Ulissi Aldrovandi
		He was educated in Bologna and Padua, received the degree of doctor of medicine (1553) and was appointed professor of natural history in the University of Bologna.
		The published works of Aldrovandi fill fourteen volumes in folio, four of which were printed during his lifetime.
		These, with Aldrovandi's manuscripts, cover the entire field of natural history, making a vast compilation which, in spite of its prolixity, won the admiration of later naturalists like Cuvier and Buffon.

		Thus, since it was unconceivable "to go everywhere", Aldrovandi aimed at transferring and reproducing the natural features of each known land, both remote and close, within his own domestic walls.
		Aldrovandi entrusted figures with an absolutely crucial role within research: their purpose was to show the "things of nature " in their entirety and optimum conditions, thus conferring full scientific validity on the Museum finds.
		Aldrovandi disposed by will that the museum and the entire scientific patrimony he had been accumulating during his life were inherited by the Bologna Senate, so that "after his death, his great endeavours could be continued for the sake of the town honour and advantage".

	Ulisse Aldrovandi
		Published records of the senate of Bologna show that it liberally supported Aldrovandi in his undertaking, doubling his salary soon after his appointment as professor, and bestowing on him from time to time sums amounting in all to 40,000 crowns.
		Aldrovandi was chiefly remarkable for laborious and patient research.
		He seems to have been totally destitute of the critical faculty, and hardly any attempt is made in his great work to classify facts or to distinguish between the true and the fabulous, the important and the trivial.

	Giornale Nuovo: Aldrovandi’s Watercolours
		Aldrovandi’s magnum opus, only partially realised during his lifetime, was to be an encyclop�dic publication encompassing everything that was then known about natural history.
		The work’s illustrations were to be drawn from the hundreds of watercolour paintings that Aldrovandi had commissioned from a number of artists, over a period of some thirty years.
		As part of their on-line presentation of Aldrovandi’s work, the University of Bologna have scanned a large number of these watercolours, a few of which I have selected for display here.

	Giornale Nuovo: Aldrovandi’s Herbal
		Aldrovandi was a polymath who ‘wrote many works on natural studies, hydrology, various diseases, ornithology, botany, entomology, pharmacology, medicine, cosmology and legendary animals, such as dragons and unicorns.’ The present images are taken from a manuscript in which Aldrovandi painted representations of dozens of ‘alchemical plants.’
		This little herbal, continuing from volume XI of Aldrovandi's ‘Tavole di piante’ presents us with a proper thematic consistency, containing representations of fifty-six ‘alchemical plants.’ The images therein differ from those contained in the rest of Aldrovandi’s painted herbals, being less true-to-life, more stylised.
		For more about Aldrovandi, and about the museum at the University of Bologna which preserves much of his collection of naturalia see Il Teatro della Natura di Ulisse Aldrovandi (in Italian only, alas).

	Rome hotels - Hotel Aldrovandi Palace
		Located in a quiet and verdant area between the green expanse of the Villa Borghese gardens and the historical reminiscences of Valle Giulia and the Borghese Gallery, the Hotel Aldrovandi Palace is perfect for those who want a tranquil sojourn while remaining close to Roman landmarks such as the Spanish Steps and Via Veneto.
		Originally a girl’s boarding school attended by the elite of Italy’s aristocratic society — such blue-blooded young ladies included the Savoy princesses, the daughters of King Victor Emanuel III — there is a sense of tradition and nobility upon entering this historical edifice, constructed in 1899 in the Umbertan style.
		The Aldrovandi Palace combines the past with the present, by merging the meticulously preserved austere and elegant areas of the former boarding school with the needs of a modern luxury hotel.

	Aldrovandi's Natural History
		Ulisse Aldrovandi was born at Bologna in 1522, a descendant of the family of the Counts of Aldrovandi.
		This great undertaking probably best represents the status of natural history at the end of the sixteenth century, Aldrovandi's only rival in the field having been Konrad Gesner whose Historia animalium, in five parts, appeared in 1551-1587.
		The personal fortune of Aldrovandi was spent in the collection of materials from various parts of the world, in the preparation of manuscripts, drawings, and woodcuts, and in printing.
