BACCELLI, GUIDO (183o-1916), Italian physician and politician, was born at Rome, and after graduating in medicine at the university became assistant professor of medical jurispru dence in 1856, and some years later professor of clinical medicine. He devoted himself particularly to the study of malaria, his researches giving an impetus to the reclamation of the Roman Campagna. In 1875 he was elected deputy for a division of Rome, which he represented until his death. He was Minister of Edu cation in various cabinets from 1879-99, and of Agriculture under Zanardelli (190 1–o3) ; from 1889 to 1893 he was vice-president of the Chamber. A keen classical scholar, he took an active inter est in archaeological matters, although in some of his projects, such as the famous Passeggiata Archeologica in Rome, he showed more enthusiasm than judgment. His labours for the isolation of the Pantheon and the creation of the Museum of Ancient Art and of the Modern Art Gallery in Rome deserved and met with more general approval. He died in Rome Jan. 11 1916.
