Pavese Museum of Natural Sciences was founded in 1771 by Lazzaro Spallanzani , abbot and naturalist for thirty years (1769-1799) lavished his talents as a lecturer and researcher at the University of Pavia.
The first collections, sent from Vienna to Pavia by the express will of the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, they found a temporary accommodation at the College Ghislieri (1771).
To grow the fastest of the collections acquired or collected by the same Spallanzani during his travels, the Museum, which already has a section of Zoology and Mineralogy, was transferred in 1775 in several rooms of the Palace of the University where the remains were ordered according to the Linnaean classification.
In 1780 the museum had more than 20,000 individuals arrived at Pavia from everywhere, and bound to increase because of the incessant search of material for teaching purposes.
Del period Spallanzani retain among others: the collection of visceral worms purchased in 1781 by Pastor John Goez of Quedlimburgo; specimens of reptiles, amphibians and fish collection of Van Hoey, 1784; a huge Nile crocodile Sannazzaro given by Count Giacomo In 1782, a dolphin from the sea in Sicily in 1790, a hippo came from Mantua in 1783, a urangutan 1786.
"Oh what gave me the news from her in the genius recatami dell'ourang-outan Which he has purchased for Pavia! Simie of the nomenclature, and history of them, I want to commit six to seven lessons from the chair, but could not do on this important topic expositions to my students, for lack of specimens, not as I had that some of the most vulgari Simmias small. The rare animal that you have done so far is the way, when in the future I'll talk about the same subject matter, for the orang-outang that ring that binds together the animals with man. This piece is worth a thousand, and his knowledge, his zeal for the Museum of Pavia was the reason for the debt. "
Thus Spallanzani Sperges thanked for the precious gift.
