Biography
Giovanni Costeo was born in 1528 in the city of Lodi in a noble family from Casalborgone . Nothing is known about Giovanni's youth.
The first subsequent information about Costeo dates from 1565, when he published Tractatus de venarum meseraicarum usu , in which he claims that the mesenteric veins do not contain a chylus . Since 1568, he worked in the city hospital in Lodi for a fee of 60 ducats per year. In 1570, the Duke of Savoy, Emanuel Philibert, invited Costo to teach the medicine of thorium at the University of Turin. For the next ten years, he worked as a professor at the University of Turin , as well as the personal physician of the Duke.
In 1580, the Duke Emanuel Philibert died, and Costeau, at the invitation of Ippolito Aldobrandini, future Pope Clement VIII , moved to Bologna , where he began to teach practical medicine. From 1593 to 1598 he was a professor of the theory of medicine at the University of Bologna .
Coste corresponded with Just Lipsius and Ulysses Aldrovandi , sending the latter seeds of plants collected during trips around the outskirts of Venice and Padua .
In 1603, Giovanni Costeo died.
