The story of Italian Hospital Umberto I is deeply rooted in tradition and humanity. It all began with Odardo Toscani, the Consul of the Kingdom of Italy, who signed the deed of purchase for the land where the hospital would stand. His dedication paved the way for a project that would become a symbol of care and solidarity within the community.

A pivotal moment in this historic journey was captured when His Majesty King Vittorio Emanuele III laid the first stone in 1901. This event marked the beginning of a century-long legacy of compassion and patient-centered care.

Today, Italian Hospital Umberto I continues to uphold this mission, offering medical services with the same dedication and humanity that guided its founders. The memory of these historic moments lives on in every corner of the hospital, reflecting the enduring connection between history, culture, and healthcare.
