title: [Luigi Guerri, an ordinary pharmacists who became the "first son" of pharmaceutical chemistry].
abstract: Luigi Guerri (1823-1892) was one of the most important researchers and teachers in pharmaceutic chemistry in Florence in XIX century. Born and lived in Florence, patriot and colleague of the famous Ugo Schiff, from whom he received much praise, Guerri taught and carried out research into chemistry for about forty years at "Istituto di Studi Superiori" in Florence. This article is a synthesis of his career which started as first assistant to professor Campani, then he became a full professor, teaching pharmaceutic chemistry and eventually became the director of the pharmaceutic laboratory in "Arcispedale Santa Maria Nuova". This article, with the reproduction of some of Guerri's publications, shows the integrity of the man as a chemist and as a teacher. He was commemorated by Schiff and the scientific journal "Orosi" at his death.
