Gabriele Falloppio (1523-1562) was an Italian priest, anatomist and clinician.

Falloppio was a student of Nicolò Machella (1494-1554) and Antonio Brassavola (1500-1555). He read the works of Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564), and built upon these in his 1561 book Observationes anatomicae.

While the fallopian tubes are his best known eponym, Falloppio’s wide-ranging contributions to anatomy mean that several structures bear his name.

At the prestigious University of Padua, Falloppio was professor of not only anatomy and surgery but also botany. It is thought that the genus Fallopia, which describes around 12 flowering buckwheat plants, was also named after him.

Falloppio’s father, Geronimo, died of syphilis when Gabriele was ten years old. Falloppio went on to study the disease and was the first to propose that sheathing the penis with a treated linen cap would prevent its spread. He claimed that none of the 1100 men who tested his creation contracted syphilis, and as a result Falloppio is credited as the father of the modern condom.
