Isidoro Falchi

Isidoro Falchi (26 April 1838 to 30 April 1914) was an Italian medical doctor and self-taught archaeologist, born in Montopoli in Val d'Arno and died in Campiglia Marittima. He is notable for his discovery of the Etruscan remains at Vetulonia and of the necropolises at Populonia. The source article gives no detail of his medical training, practice or specialty, so this entry records him as a medical doctor whose lasting reputation rests on archaeology. The Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani carries a biographical entry on him in volume 44, published in Rome in 1994.
