Early years

Jacopo Berengario da Carpi was the son of a surgeon.

As a youth he assisted his father in surgical work, and his surgical skills became the basis of his later work as a physician. In his late teens, through the association of his family with Lionello Pio, Berengario came under the tutelage of the great humanist printer, Aldo Manuzio who came to Carpi to tutor Alberto III Pio, Prince of Carpi and apparently included Berengario in his instruction.

In the 1480s, Berengario attended university in Bologna receiving his degree in medicine in 1489.
