Atomi e individuiKeywords: Individuality , Cell theory , Organism , Modularity , History of medicine , Cancer , Cell territories Abstract: The Italian translation of R. Virchow’s conference of 1859 "Atome und Individuen". Virchow’s emphasis on the federal structure of the biological individual as composed of "cell-territories" supersedes the previous cellular atomis, and can be considered as a turning point in the establishment of a modular approach to the organism.
