Anatomical wax modeling reached its apogee in Florence, Italy, when Felice Fontana (1730-1805), a physicist, led the first anatomical wax studio, La Specola Natural History Museum, with Clemente Susini (1754-1814) as his apprentice. With the innovation of dissectible wax models,>500 fine models were prepared of various waxes, without the incorporation of human skeletons
that had been employed in Bologna.
