A historical study about the well-known pharmacist Luis Carlos Bottino Duzan (Santiago de Cuba, 1842-1894) was made through an account of his personal and professional life. It emphasized his contributions to the development of pharmaceutics in Santiago in the technological, scientific and research fields, which turned him into an outstanding personality of the 19th century in his home city. It also assessed his performance within his social context, since he held several positions in different locally prestigious institutions and developed other activities such as Consul of Italy to Santiago de Cuba. To all the above-mentioned, it may be added that this pharmacist showed highly human feelings and philanthropy.
