title: [Work and health since Italian unification to now: achievements, needs, and directions from historiography].
abstract: The authors describe the status-of-the-Art of History of Workers' Health and Occupational Medicine in Italy. Attention is focused on the periods between the peaks of interest, widely known by contemporary historians. It seems clear that less known periods are, however, often essential to understanding the onset times of "peaks", and to profile along time attitude and results achieved by the society on health issues in the workplace. In all periods doctors play a predominant role, while the presence of other professionals that instead had a leading role in the history of other industrialized countries, is downsized.
