The Ceppo hospital<\/b> was founded in Pistoia in 1277 and was in operation for over 700 years<\/b> until the completion of the new San Jacopo Hospital in Pistoia in 2013.<\/p>\n

Today it has found a new function, that of a museum<\/b> that tells the history of Pistoia’s healthcare<\/b>, collecting and preserving important historical documents.<\/p>\n

In 1300, during the epidemic of black plague, it became the most important hospital in Pistoia<\/b> and many people reached it to be treated.<\/p>\n

In 1500 it was partially renovated<\/b> and rebuilt, there was added the loggia<\/b> with glazed terracotta<\/b> decorations of the Della Robbia <\/b>workshop, decorative details taken from the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence.<\/p>\n

Inside, since 1600 there was a school<\/b> of medicine<\/b> and surgery<\/b> with a six-year program of studies, in 1700 was also created an anatomical theater <\/b>where were held the lessons of anatomy and studies on cadavers.<\/p>\n

Thanks to historical reconstructions<\/b> and exhibits<\/b> of objects used in this hospital, you can understand how the healthcare of this city has evolved.<\/p>\n

Currently you can find an exhibition dedicated to surgical instruments<\/b> housed in one of the lanes of the old hospital and you can visit the rooms of <\/b>a<\/b>natom<\/b>y<\/b> that are located in the beautiful garden to conclude the visit to the museum.<\/p>\n
