Amarro Fiamberti was an Italian psychiatrist who is best known for being the first to document a "transorbital" (i.e. through an eye socket) approach to the frontal lobes of the brain. His obscure 1937 reports were discovered by his contemporary, the American psychiatrist Walter Freeman, who built upon the technique in a new form of lobotomy called the transorbital lobotomy, or informally the "ice pick lobotomy".He was the Director of Psychiatric Hospital in Varese from its opening to 1964, allowing the structure to gain an important role in the history of Psychiatric Hospitals in Northern Italy in 20th century.
