Abstract
Abstract Antonio Maria Valsalva was a renowned anatomist, physiologist, and surgeon who made significant contributions to the field of science, particularly in otology. A monument dedicated to him is located on the wall of the Archiginnasio Palace in Bologna, indicating the high regard in which he was held by his peers. The aim of this study is to analyze the monument, revealing the hidden messages about the scientist. In our analysis of the monument dedicated to Valsalva, we also conducted research on Valsalva’s life and contributions to the field of science, with a focus on otology. Our study revealed that the fresco paints a comprehensive picture of Valsalva and his achievements as one of the leading figures in the history of medicine and otology. This is particularly conveyed by the four putti surrounding the fresco, which symbolize various aspects of Valsalva’s extraordinary career and impact on the field of science. The monument dedicated to Antonio Maria Valsalva serves as a lasting tribute to his legacy and contributions to the field of Science.
