**Angelo Minich** (1817–1893), a pathologist, was professor of [surgery](/source/Surgery) at the [University of Padua](/source/University_of_Padua). Born in [Venice](/source/Venice) on 30 September 1817, he studied medicine at [Padua](/source/Padua) and at [Pavia](/source/Pavia), where he graduated in February 1840; he took a further degree in surgery in Padua a few months later. He then specialised in [Vienna](/source/Vienna) and worked in [Germany](/source/Germany), [Belgium](/source/Belgium) and [England](/source/England), becoming convinced that the basis of medicine was [pathological anatomy](/source/Pathological_anatomy).

At the end of 1843 he became subsidiary surgeon at the Civil Hospital of Venice, and the following year was appointed surgeon in the city's prisons; subsequently (1845–1847) he obtained a temporary post of theoretical surgery in Padua, after which he returned to France and to Belgium. When the [1848 uprising](/source/Revolutions_of_1848) broke out, the [Daniele Manin](/source/Daniele_Manin) revolutionary government in Venice appointed him director of the hospital of Santa Chiara; on 27 August 1850 he became principal surgeon at the Civil Hospital, where he worked and taught until 1884. For a while he was a Town Councillor and worked on the Provincial Council; in 1889 he was appointed Senator. Eventually he was to become President of the [Ateneo Veneto di Lettere Scienze ed Arti](/source/Ateneo_Veneto), He died in 1893, leaving money for the construction of the [Ponte Minich](/source/Ponte_Minich) bridge in Venice.[1]

The [casa Minich](/source/Casa_Minich) in Venice was acquired with his donation and named after his name in 1982. In 2019, it became the main location of the Veneto Institute for Cultural Heritage.[2][3]
