title: [Contribution of the Aversa school to the birth and progress of criminal anthropology].
abstract: In this historical research the author highlights the contribution made by the Aversa school in the birth and progress of criminal Anthropology. He describes in particular the scientific work of Gaspare Virgilio who with his intuitions contributed to a notable extent in the evolution of the though of Lombroso, of whom he was a friend, and also the work of his successor, Fillipo Saporito, who, in dealing with the treatment of criminals, advocated the necessity of replacing the punishment-chastisement by the punishment-treatment, thus forestalling the principles set forth in the new prison reform.
