Vittorio Marchi was an Italian neuroscientist who lived during the second half of the 19th century. He is generally remembered for developing a novel staining method to trace the degeneration of nervous fibers in lesions of the central nervous system. This osmium-based method was used worldwide for approximately a century and continues to be cited in modern textbooks. Despite several important original scientific contributions, Marchi was never awarded a university chair. Discouraged, he left to practice neurology in a rural area but continued to write outstanding articles, and in 1897, he became a pioneer of meningioma surgery. Today, he is remembered only in specialized contexts. We hope this article can provide the recognition that Marchi deserves.
维托里奥·马尔基（Vittorio Marchi）是一位意大利神经科学家，生活在 19 世纪后半叶。他因开发了一种新型染色方法来追踪中枢神经系统病变中神经纤维的退化而被人们铭记。这种基于锇的方法在全球范围内使用了大约一个世纪，并在现代教科书中继续被引用。尽管他有几项重要的原创科学贡献，但马尔基从未获得过大学教授职位。他感到沮丧，离开了大学去农村地区从事神经病学实践，但仍继续撰写优秀的文章。1897 年，他成为脑膜瘤手术的先驱。如今，他只在专业领域被人们记住。我们希望本文能够为马尔基应得的认可提供帮助。
