At the age of twenty he became professor at Modena, and in 1783 he went to Pavia where he helped bring the University of Pavia to preeminence. His legacy includes works in otolaryngology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, neuroanatomy, and surgery. In this work, Scarpa describes the auditory and olfactory mechanisms of fishes, birds, reptiles, and man. The eight plates were drawn by the author."], Choulant-Frank [p.299 (ed. 1789 & 1795: "Both editions contains the same copperplates, viz., eight finished plates , each with an outline plate with letters. The first five plates deal with zoötomic subjects, the last three with human anatomy. They are all drawn by Scarpa"].
