History
The journal was established in 1909, but publication was suspended for 1920. From 1921 to 1929 volumes were numbered as a new series from 1 to 9 but constitute, in fact, volumes 12 to 20. In 1970 Minerva Medica absorbed Minerva Medica Siciliana, previously titled Gazzetta Medica Siciliana, which was established in 1869. The absorbed publication continues as a supplement with its own numbering.
