From the Unification of Italy

The Pavia University clinic for the study and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders dates back to the early years of post-unification Italy. Initially based in part of Palazzo del Maino, its first director was Cesare Lombroso.

1876

In 1876, the post of director was assigned to Augusto Tamburini and subsequently to Antonio Raggi, who also directed the asylum of Voghera.
From 1918 to the present day

1924: the birth of the Casimiro Mondino Foundation

Mondino directed the clinic until his death in 1924. He left his estate to the “Casimiro Mondino Foundation”, which, on a new and independent basis, developed further under the direction of Ottorino Rossi, founder of the Pavia School of Neurology.

1973: recognition as a Scientific Institute for Research, Hospitalisation and Healthcare – IRCCS

In 1973, the Italian Health Ministry formally recognised the Foundation as Scientific Institute for Research, Hospitalisation and Healthcare and a private body.
