Agostino Gemelli

Agostino Gemelli (18 January 1878 – 15 July 1959) was an Italian Franciscan friar, physician and psychologist, who was also the founder and first Rector of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Catholic University of the Sacred Heart) of Milan.

Gemelli's Institute of Psychology was the most prominent institution of its kind in Italy. In 1959 he founded a teaching hospital for the Medical School of the university, located in Rome, the Agostino Gemelli University Polyclinic, which is now named after him. He has become notorious in historical analyses for some racist statements leading up to the Second World War and his rabid support for Benito Mussolini. He focused some of his research on the psychology of the workplace. Provided by Wikipedia
