Minerva Medica was the brainchild of a Turin GP Dr. Guglielmo Oliaro, a scientist with a passion for literature, art and music. It was on December 8 1925 that Dr. Oliaro got together with a small group of partners to set up the original company, Tipografia Editrice Minerva based in Turin. The creation of that company was a response to the growing success both in Italy and abroad, of Minerva Medica, a weekly journal for the general practitioner that first came out in 1909.
　　Minerva Medica是都灵全科医生Guglielmo Oliaro博士的创意，他是一位热爱文学、艺术和音乐的科学家。正是在1925年12月8日，奥利亚罗博士与一小部分合伙人在都灵成立了最初的公司，蒂波格拉菲亚Editrice Minerva。这家公司的成立是对意大利和海外日益成功的一种回应，它是1909年首次出版的全科医生每周杂志Minerva Medica。
