GABRIELLO, in Latin FALLOPIUS, one of three anatomists to whom Cuvier assigns the honour of having restored, if not actually created, their science; Vesalius and Eustachius being the other two. He was a native of Modena, and though the year of his birth is not accurately known, it may be assigned to the end of the first quarter of the seventeenth century. He received his medical education at Ferrara, and in that city he established himself as a teacher of anatomy, after completing a scientific tour through the most civilized portions of Europe. From Ferrara he removed to Pisa, attracted thither by the liberal offers of Cosmo I. Grand Duke of Tuscany, and from Pisa to Padua, where the Venetian Senate appointed him to succeed Vesalius. His career in his new sphere, though brilliant, was short, as he died in 1652, after holding his various appointments for only eleven years. His only work, the Observationes Anatomicae, was first published at Venice in 1561, and has been frequently reprinted. For an account of the services which Fallopius rendered to anatomical science, see art. Anatomy, vol. ii., p. 759.
