Rangoni's central thesis is that the natural lifespan of humans is 120 years, a limit set by God and nature, but rarely reached due to lifestyle mistakes, medical ignorance and negative environmental influences.

Undoubtedly an original and controversial figure, he was constantly balancing between patronage and pure egocentricity, between authority and charlatanism.

La tesi centrale di Rangoni è che la durata naturale della vita umana sia di 120 anni, un limite stabilito da Dio e dalla natura, ma raramente raggiunto a causa di errori nello stile di vita, ignoranza medica e influenze ambientali negative.

This particular disinfection press was used to expose letters to the aromatic smoke that filtered through the lower grille. Considered high risk, both because of long journeys and because paper was made from macerated fabrics, letters were treated as potential vectors of contagion.

🌏 What connects this tool to HEPA filters and UV treatments?
During major plagues, letters and documents were “purified” through purging: fumigation with burnt medicinal herbs, the same ones used in the famous beaks worn by plague doctors.
