Career

Very little is known of Garzia's career, except he was a physician and professor of medicine at the university of Naples.

Garzia had a certain interest in pharmacology, and gathered several addenda to prompt a new edition of Giovanni Battista Capello's Lessico farmaceutico-chimico contenente li rimedi più usati nella medicina (Naples, 1770).

In 1778, Garzia taught a course of history of medicine, using Johann Samuel Carl's Specimen historiae medicae (1719) as a textbook.
