The glory of having discovered the lymphatic vessels belongs undoubtedly to the Italian Gaspare Aselli from Cremona; he established itself as an excellent anatomist and surgeon, also military, in Milan, where the first true description of the lymphatic system can really begin; later, he moved to Pavia, where in 1624 he obtained the chair of anatomy.
