The Istituto Giannina Gaslini is the biggest pediatric hospital of North Italy, located in Genoa Quarto dei Mille and founded by the Italian industrialist, politician and philanthropist Gerolamo Gaslini (Count of Saint Jerome) in 1938. It is considered one of the best children's hospitals of Europe, it is known worldwide and in 1956 it was recognized as Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico (IRCCS). In 1931 Gerolamo Gaslini, together with his wife Lorenza, had the idea of building an institute for care and infancy named after his daughter Giannina, who died in 1917 at eleven years old, perhaps due to peritonitis which was not diagnosed in time. Gaslini did not accept the fact that children could die for lack of timely and adequate treatment, so he decided to create a pediatric hospital. More information...
