The Author describes the various phases of the teaching of microbiology in the Faculty of Medicine of the University, of Rome, from the unity of Italy to the end of the twentieth century. A regular course of Bacteriology was started only in the academic year 1905/1906 as separate teaching from that of Hygiene and the Institute of Bacteriology was created in 1924. It was centered in Piazza del Viminale in Rome, in the same building as the Institute of Hygiene. Prof Vittorio Puntoni was the first Director of the Institute, also in its new site of the Città Universitaria which was inaugurated in 1935. In the meantime the old name of Bacteriology was changed to Microbiology and prof Puntoni remained as Director until 1943. The bombing during the war produced heavy damage to the new Institute and with the appointment of prof Aldo Cimmino as a new Director in 1946 the Institute of Microbiology began a long period of reconstruction and development. An astonishing improvement was achieved in the availability of human and technical resources, many groups of research workers were created and several pupils became professor of Microbiology in different Italian Universities. In 1981 prof Cimmino definitely retired, leaving, the teaching of Microbiology in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" to five of his pupils. One of them, prof Garaci, a few years later passed to the new University of Rome "Tor Vergata", becoming also Rector. The other four professor (Orsi, Filadoro, Pezzi, del Piano) continued their teaching in the successive years, with the collaboration of several associate professors, whose status was created by the law 382 in 1980. A later law on the short degree course required also the official participation of many researchers to the new teaching. Finally in 2001 the official activity of the Institute of Microbiology ceased and was incorporated in the Department of Public Health Sciences.
作者描述了从意大利统一到20世纪末，罗马大学医学院微生物学教学的各个阶段。正规的细菌学课程直到1905/1906学年才开始，与卫生学教学分开，细菌学研究所于1924年成立。它位于罗马的维米纳莱广场，与卫生学研究所同在一栋楼里。维托里奥·蓬托尼教授是该研究所的第一任所长，该研究所在1935年启用的大学城新址时他仍担任所长。与此同时，细菌学的旧称改为微生物学，蓬托尼教授一直担任所长直到1943年。战争期间的轰炸给新研究所造成了严重破坏，1946年阿尔多·奇明诺教授被任命为新所长，微生物学研究所开始了漫长的重建和发展时期。在人力和技术资源方面取得了惊人的进步，成立了许多研究小组，几名学生成为意大利不同大学的微生物学教授。1981年，奇明诺教授正式退休，将罗马大学“萨皮恩扎”医学院的微生物学教学工作交给了他的五名学生。其中一位，加拉奇教授，几年后转到了新的罗马大学“托尔·韦尔加塔”，还担任了校长。其他四位教授（奥尔西、菲拉多罗、佩齐、德尔·皮亚诺）在接下来的几年里继续教学，并有几位副教授协助，副教授的职位是根据1980年的第382号法律设立的。后来一项关于短期学位课程的法律还要求许多研究人员正式参与新的教学工作。最后，2001年微生物学研究所的正式活动停止，并并入公共卫生科学系。
