A. MUSAJO SOMMA, et al: Lazzaro Spallanzani, in Transylvania drive 113 He left Transylvania for the Banat region and he arrived to Temeswar on the evening of 14 th October when a stormy weather and rain offered to the Italian biologist an awful welcome. He will report the poor quality of air because of several ponds and local people affected by intermittent fevers. Transylvania is left and Vienna welcomes the Italian scientist on 7 th December 1786. His hodoeporic writings about the scientific tour through the eastern European countries were printed only a century after his death. Conclusion Spallanzani, in all his life as well as in his Transylvania drive, took a necessary and decisive step away from scholastic Aristotelian natural philosophy, with its sterile metaphysics and reputed reluctance to value laboratory experience. Laboratory tools joined Spallanzani’s travels and his studies reoriented the research of natural sciences away from the world of common sense observation and made it rigorously measurable and testable. Beyond the stones, he collected through the Romanian area biologic, ethnologic, medical and social notes. A great biographer, as great as a botanist, the Transylvanian academician Emil Pop (1897-1972) paid his tribute to the extraordinary personality of the Italian savant printing in 1942 a study of great erudition related also to Spallanzani personality. In the supplement of Emil Pop’s paper, as published in Timisoara in 1942, there is also a list of 60 different minerals collected by Spallanzani in the region. Three big cases of minerals were dispatched, on Spallanzani order, by the Zalatna mines’ inspector, Immanuel Will by ship along the Donau River to Vienna. The acquisition of exhibits proved congenial to the most magnificent Museum of Natural History at University of Pavia. A great amount of natural history material items were collected in Spallanzani private museum in Scandiano, his hometown. The preservation of his private collection was a responsibility of his sister Marianna, a single woman who offered a great strength in the early attempts to preserve the items. She gained experience in taxidermy and in the preservation of stuffed-skins allowing a satisfactory preservation of the collections. Difficult Mountain passes, floods and torrents, brigands and cut-throats, mines inspection to collect more specimen allowed to set up a unique natural science collection and the written records by Spallanzani feed social history information and therefore the wider world of individuals and researchers interested into medical history.
