Fondazione Menarini

The “Fondazione Menarini” was founded in the spring of 1976 to promote research and knowledge in the field of biology, pharmacology and medicine, but also in the fields of economy and human sciences. All within a broad perspective that focuses on the problems and puts them in order in a professional and practical sense.

One of the main instruments the Foundation uses to achieve its goals is the organisation of international congresses with specific focus in medical disciplines.

During the course of its activities, the Foundation has organised over 300 international conferences addressing particularly innovative medical and biological issues and topics of specific interest for the medical world in terms of widespread scientific implications and repercussions of a practical nature.

Flanking the Foundation as an instrument of vast cultural information, is the scientific journal "Minuti" published in collaboration with the American scientific journal "American Family Physician".

The issues dealing with immunology, oncology, nephrology, lung and metabolic diseases, cardiology and other topics of medical interest are the subject of particular discussion. One feature of the journal is that of coupling the literary-scientific section with a wide range of iconographic documentation integrated with diagrams allowing easy access to topics that are at times extremely complex.

In addition to the scientific edition, the Foundation also publishes an artistic edition of "Minuti" for all Italian physicians who are also art enthusiasts. The Fondazione Menarini has always kept the antique and glorious tradition of the humanist-physician alive, devoting attention and passion to art and its highest forms as an expression of man.
