Born in Corteno Golgi and dying in Pavia, he held citizenship in the Kingdom of Italy, the Austrian Empire, and the Kingdom of Sardinia. He earned a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Pavia, where he also served as a professor and rector. Golgi was a student of Cesare Lombroso and worked at the University of Siena.

His fields of work included malaria, medicine, histology, and anatomy. Golgi received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He was a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Lower Saxony, the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and the Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences. He spoke and wrote in Italian.

Among his works are *Sulla fine anatomia del midollo spinale*, *Sulle alterazioni dei vais linfatici del cervello*, *Di nuovo sulla struttura delle cellule nervose dei gangli spinali*, *Gli studi di Camillo Golgi sulla malaria*, and *Emilio Veratti e Camillo Golgi*.

Encyclopedic overview

Camillo Golgi ( Italian: [kaˈmilːo ˈɡɔldʒi]; 7 July 1843 – 21 January 1926) was an Italian biologist and pathologist who was awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his works on the central nervous system. He studied medicine at the University of Pavia (where he later spent most of his professional career) 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 (sometimes called Golgi's method or Golgi's staining in his honour) 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.

Golgi and the Spanish biologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906 "in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system".
