Hello! I would like to talk about the pharmacy situation in Italy. The other day, I went on a trip to Italy during my summer vacation. During the trip, I got sick, so I went to a pharmacy in Italy. At that Italian pharmacies are called FARMACIA. These pharmacies are like drugstores in Japan, and they sell cosmetics and other products as well. FARMACIA can be found on every street corner, and they have a green cross neon sign. During my trip, I often saw snakes surrounding a cup or a white snake entwined with a staff at the entrance of the stores.These features seem to be related to a myth. The staff of time, I noticed that the pharmacy situation in Italy was different from that in Japan, so I would like to talk about it this time.Asklepios, the Greek goddess of healing, is also well known as a symbol of health, immortality, longevity, protection, magic, and mystery. It is the symbol of pharmacies in various European countries. The snake also seems to be related to Roman legends, representing friendship, harmony, healing, protection, and magic. It is very unique to Europe that such myths and ancient history are relevant until today.The difference between FARMACIA and Japanese drugstores is that in Italian pharmacies, medicines are not always easily accessible to customers, and they are given to them after they tell the pharmacist about their symptoms. By the way, many pharmacists speak English, so you should be fine even if you do not speak Italian.Pharmacies in ItalyItaly is known as the home of the world's oldest pharmacy, Santa Maria Novella, and Italy plays an important role in the history of pharmacy. The world's oldest pharmacy is said to have begun in 1221, when monks from the Dominican monastery of Santa Maria Fra' le Vignet settled in Florence and cultivated medicinal herbs and prepared medicines.7【Photo】Medicine purchased at Farmacia Miyu Miura Working in UK (Graduated University of Sheffield) Pharmacy and Medical System in Italy
