Cultural links between Salerno and Montecassino.

A meeting on the History of Nephrology is an opportunity to discuss the links between science and faith which were split until the 6th century. However, this was changed by Cassiodorus and monasticism. From the times of Abbot Bertario (died 883 AD) in Montecassino, medicine was regarded as an art and a science. Codex 97 from Cassino offers a program of professional deontology, based on sensitivity, discretion, respect and responsiveness to the need of patients.
