Breaking News in Montagnana: Dr. Bartolomei Bids Farewell!
Ah, Montagnana, the picturesque town where everything is fabulous—except, apparently, the availability of doctors. Well, October 30th, 2024, marks a fateful day in the annals of local healthcare, for on November 5th, 2024, Dr. Giovanni Bartolomei is hanging up his stethoscope and saying “Ciao!” to his general practitioner gig. And let’s face it, he probably won’t miss listening to all those groans about waiting times!
Introducing Your New Doctor: Dr. Digiovinazzo Eleonora!
Fear not, dear patients! In a bid for continuity, the brilliant minds of Montagnana’s healthcare system have appointed Dr. Digiovinazzo Eleonora to step into the shoes of the departing Dr. Bartolomei. Let’s hope her talent is as vast as the number of words in that name!
Dr. Digiovinazzo will take her throne starting November 6th, 2024, at the same medical practice located at Via Lovara n.5. You can reach her by phone at 0429 1708130. Her office hours? Well, they’ve been carefully crafted to ensure you still have time to contemplate your life choices:
- Monday: 4.00pm – 8.00pm

- Wednesday: 10.30am – 1.30pm
- Thursday: 4.00pm – 8.00pm

Staying with Dr. Digiovinazzo—Or Not!
Now, you might be thinking, “What if Dr. Digiovinazzo doesn’t fit my vibe?” Well, it seems that you don’t have to settle! If you’d prefer to choose another GP, Montagnana has made it as easy as pie to switch doctors – and they didn’t even require a secret handshake!
Here’s how you can do it:
- First, head online to the help desk with your SPID or CIE card. Once you’re there, give that green button a hefty click under “Choice or change of general practitioner (GP)”—sounds riveting, right?
- Prefer the web? Access the WEB portal SanitàKmZero File using your SPID credentials and change your GP from the comfort of your couch (or bed, we don’t judge!). Just make sure to print your paper card for the Venetian NHS – because nobody’s going paperless here, my friend!
