Luigi Sacco (Varese 1769 - Milan 1836) was the Direttore generale della vaccinazione in northern Italy and responsible for introducing the new Jenner vaccine into the country. His extensive work in this area was supported by enlightened Italian administrators and officials under the Napoleonic occupation. Wellcome online catalogue 45634/D/1.
