He studied medicine at the University of Pavia between 1860 and 1868 under the tutelage of Cesare Lombroso. Inspired by pathologist Giulio Bizzozero, he pursued research in the nervous system. His discovery of a staining technique called black reaction in 1873 was a major breakthrough in neuroscience. Several structures and phenomena in anatomy and physiology are named for him, including the Golgi apparatus, the Golgi tendon organ and the Golgi tendon reflex.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"7 July 1843","date":"1843-07-07"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Corteno Golgi","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104096"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"21 January 1926","date":"1926-01-21"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Pavia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6259"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Kingdom of Italy","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q172579","start":"1861-03-17"},{"text":"Austrian Empire","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q131964","end":"1859-11-10"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"cell biologist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15839136"},{"text":"physician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q39631"},{"text":"neurologist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q783906"},{"text":"professor","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q121594"},{"text":"pathologist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3368718"},{"text":"anatomist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10872101"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P106"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"Ugo Foscolo - Pavia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q52783573"},{"text":"University of Pavia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q219317","start":"1860","end":"1865"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P69"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Lina Aletti","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q109326159"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P26"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"senator of the Kingdom of Italy (14 June 1900 – 21 January 1926)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13655473","start":"1900-06-14","end":"1926-01-21"},{"text":"rector","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q212071"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q80061","date":"1906"},{"text":"Pour le Mérite for Sciences and Arts order","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15056034"},{"text":"doctor honoris causa from the University of Paris","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126418747","date":"1923"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camillo_Golgi","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150630"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Camillo Golgi born?","a":"Camillo Golgi was born on 7 July 1843 in Corteno Golgi."},{"q":"What positions has Camillo Golgi held?","a":"Positions held by Camillo Golgi include: senator of the Kingdom of Italy (1900–1926);
