The home of the renaissance has a long and rich history of culture and science. From the time of Leonardo da Vinci, Italy has been at the forefront of medicine and healthcare, so much so the BBC even dubbed the Italian city of Padua as the “birthplace of modern medicine”. That proud tradition has been carried forward into the 21st century as well, with Italy ranked #18 on the Medical Tourism Index.
