Giovanni Maciocia is one of the most highly respected practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in Europe. Originally from a medical family in Italy, he trained in England at the International College of Oriental medicine and graduated in 1974 after a three-year course. He has been in practice ever since.
In 1980, 1982, and 1987, he attended three postgraduate courses in acupuncture at the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. Giovanni can read Chinese writing and therefore has access to all the Chinese medicine textbooks, old and modern, published in China.
