What if I told you that this school, the Scuola elementare Gaetano Casati, is named after a man who dedicated his life to healing? Gaetano Casati, a Milanese doctor, walked these very streets. He followed in his father’s footsteps, serving at the renowned Ospedale Maggiore. The younger Casati later led the Santa Caterina, a home for abandoned infants, publishing groundbreaking work on bone diseases. He was a man who believed in knowledge and compassion. When he passed, he left a legacy to the city’s Istituto dei Ciechi, the institute for the blind, ensuring that even in death, he continued to illuminate lives. Now, the Scuola elementare Gaetano Casati stands as a testament to his commitment to learning and the betterment of Milan. Every day, children walk through these doors, their minds eager for knowledge, just as Gaetano Casati’s once was.
