Draft:Leonardo Di Capua award

Biography

Leonardo Di Capua (Bagnoli Irpino, August 10, 1617 - Naples, June 17, 1695) was an Italian physician, scientist, and philosopher. Committed to research and experimentation, in contrast to the old school leaders such as Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen, and others, he was the head of an academy called the "Investiganti".

In 1681 he published the "Parere", supporting the ideas of those who opposed medical and scientific research to traditional knowledge.
