[edit]Name
The origins of its name (in Italian it means "medicine") are quite uncertain and many hypotheses have been made on it. A legend tells that the Emperor FrederickBarbarossa, passing through Medicina from Milan fell ill and miraculously recovered from this illness because of a snake that accidentally came into the pot of his soup. It has been proved though thatthe name of the town dates back to the time before the passage of Barbarossa, that indeed happened though. In memory of this legend every year the "Festa del Barbarossa" takes place in the 3rdweekend of September.
[edit]Science
Near Medicina (in the village of Fiorentina) there is a radio observatory named "Croce del Nord" (Cross of the North), made up of a 32 meters long aerialand of a much wider "cross". It is operated by the Istituto di Radioastronomia di Bologna (Institute for Radio Astronomy of Bologna), created by the CNR (National association for Research) andnow part of the INAF and there is an identical one in Noto, Sicily.
