The so-called anatomical machines of
the Raimondo di Sangro, the Prince of Sansevero (1710-1771), on display
at the Museo Capella Sansevero in Naples, are two anatomical models, of a
man and a woman, which depict the system of blood vessels of the human
body. They were manufactured by the anatomist Giuseppe Salerno in the
1760s and believed to be the result of anatomical preparations based on a
technique known as ‘anatomical injection’ (injection of embalming
substances).
