These interests led to his work at the French Academy in Rome, where he taught anatomy to artists.He was born in Mondolfo in the Duchy of Urbino and died in Rome, where he practiced surgery in the Hospital of Santo Spirito in Sassia.An English translation of the work appeared in London in 1723 under the title, Anatomy Improv'd.
