Anatomy, however, will be held only in 1884. The left wing of the School was inaugurated as the Institute of Pathological Anatomy, its direction as well as the chair was handed to Angelo Maria Maffucci. Maffucci's contribution to the University of Pisa Florence was the first University to establish the teaching of Pathological Anatomy (in 1840), while Pisa wasn't a relevant structure (physical nor administrative) in supporting the research and the study in this field. Maffucci had a revolutionary role in the position of Pisa in the field of Pathological Anatomy, since he founded the institute and also the museum, both annexed to the medical school. Antonio Costa defined him "a very worthy master among the most worthy" , since he correctly identified the need of teaching and scientific research. Maffucci divided the teaching into theoretical (Institutions of Pathological Anatomy) and practical (autopsies, histopathological technique and diagnostics), and his contribution was so important that it is possible to state that Pisa, thanks to Maffucci, was the first Italian university in which students had the opportunity, in the course of their studies, to associate the practical activity with the theoretical teaching. He showed the same commitment in setting up and then enriching the Museum of Pathological Anatomy: to the important collection of collected preparations by Filippo Civinini in 1839, Maffucci added many other finds of various kinds, concerning, in particular, bone pathologies. At the same time he started to assemble what over time will become a collection, varied and rich, of histological preparations.
