In the Istituto Nazionale Malattie Infettive – Ospedale Spallanzani, in Rome, there is a memorial tablet dedicated to one of the first infectivologist, who worked there: Tommaso Pontano. Furthermore, a pavillion of the same hopital is known as “Padiglione Pontano”.
The tablet can be found near the entrance of the hospital.
The tablet shows on a gold background the name and the dates of birth and death of the infectivologist.
