The body of Marcello Malpighi is buried in the church of the Santi Gregorio e Siro, via Montegrappa, in Bologna, where nowadays can be seen a marble monument to the scientist with an inscription in latin remembering – among other things – his “SUMMUM INGENIUM / INTEGERRIMAM VITAM / FORTEM STRENUAMQUE MENTEM / AUDACEM SALUTARIS ARTIS AMOREM” (great genius, honest life, strong and tough mind, daring love for the medical art).
