Under the helm of Francesco Galassi, Elena Varotto and Rossella Lorenzi, the Leonardo team was invited to participate to a two-day virtual conference at the new Forensic Anthropology, Paleopathology and Bioarchaeology (FAPAB) Research Center in Avola, Sicily. The FAPAB Research Center, created in 2019, is entirely devoted to the study of ancient and modern human remains.
The title was: “Health, medicine, and socio-cultural aspects in the Late Middle Ages and through the Renaissance: new research perspectives.” The informative conference was held online on 16-17 September 2021. Sessions ran from 2:00 to 6:00 pm European Central Time, using the Zoom platform, and included diverse scholarly presentations, and poster presentations.
