Alessandro Achillini was an Italian physician, philosopher and humanist who is best known for his contributions to the scientific revolution of the 16th century. He was born in Bologna, Italy and studied medicine at the University of Bologna, graduating in 1483.
Achillini was an influential figure in the Renaissance, and was among the first to challenge the authority of the ancient medical texts. He was an ardent proponent of the experimental method, and believed that medical understanding should be based on observation, rather than on the authority of ancient texts.
