Bernardino Ramazzini, born in Carpi in 1633 and deceased in Padua in 1714, is universally renowned father and founder of occupational health. This paper will present Bernardino Ramazzini under a different perspective, and will show that during his scientific career he continuously maintained the attitude of a modern epidemiologist. Reviewing all his scientific papers, and many papers commenting his activity, we present four major areas in which Ramazzini expressed in a direct and convincing way his epidemiologic culture: the epidemiologic constitutions and the work done mainly on physical subjects while he was in Modena; the general architecture of his most important book (De Morbis Artificum Diatriba); the first full description of an episode of environmental pollution which occurred in Finale Emilia in 1689 (in his book this episode is reported in the chapter describing the diseases of chemicals); the opening lectures of some academic years he gave while he was teaching, mainly, in Padua. To our knowledge the epidemiological attitude of Bernardino Ramazzini is not recognized yet in epidemiology textbooks.
贝尔纳迪诺·拉马齐尼于1633年出生在卡尔皮，1714年在帕多瓦去世，是举世闻名的职业健康之父和创始人。本文将从一个不同的视角来介绍贝尔纳迪诺·拉马齐尼，并将表明在他的科学职业生涯中，他始终保持着现代流行病学家的态度。通过回顾他所有的科学论文以及许多评论他活动的论文，我们展示了拉马齐尼以直接且令人信服的方式展现其流行病学素养的四个主要领域：他在摩德纳时的流行病学体质以及主要针对物理学科开展的工作；他最重要的著作（《论手工业者的疾病》）的总体架构；1689年在菲纳莱艾米利亚发生的一次环境污染事件的首次完整描述（在他的书中，这一事件在描述化学物质疾病的章节中有所记载）；他在帕多瓦任教期间一些学年的开幕演讲。据我们所知，流行病学教科书尚未认可贝尔纳迪诺·拉马齐尼的流行病学态度。
