Angelo Scarenzio "dedicated himself to nasal reconstruction with successful results , using Blasius ' folded flap technique" Riccardo F. Mazzola, Catherine B. Foss: Plastic Surgery: An Illustrated History (2023) "In 1861, Angelo Scarenzio (1831-1904) was the first university professor who occupied the chair of Dermatology and Syphilology in Pavia. He was in this discipline for 43 years up to his death. Scarenzio's first professional career was in the field of surgery, under the supervision of the great surgeon Porta. Soon he became assistant professor of clinical surgery at the University of Pavia. Later, he moved on to the area of Dermatology and Syphilology. During his academic life as surgeon, he published numerous works on surgical fields. In 1894, the King of Italy, Umberto I, admired him as a successful plastic surgeon at the Hygiene Exhibition of the International Medical Congress in Rome. Between the fields of dermatology and syphilology, Scarenzio was more interested in the latter. He managed a clinic devoted especially to syphilis. He used his skills as a surgeon for repairing the destructive lesions caused by the later stages of syphilis. At his own expense, he endowed a Dermatology and Syphilology Museum with a number of wax models of dermatological diseases. Scarenzio was internationally famous in the field of venereology for treating syphilis with subcutaneous injection of calomel, or mercury chloride. His experience in this arena was published as article entitled "First attempts at the treatment of constitutional syphilis via subcutaneous injection of a preparation of mercury" in the August-September 1864 issue of the AnnaliUniversali di Medicina. Although the prize of the gold medal was awarded to Scarenzio and his colleague Ricordi by the Royal Society ofMedical and Natural Sciences of Brussels, they failed to disseminate this therapeutic strategy at an international level. Later, Smirnoff in Finland, Balzer and Jullien in France and Neisser in Germany successfully administered modified formulations of Scarnzio's method in treating patients with syphilis."
