<p>Roberto Massalongo (1856–1919), an Italian physician, was deeply influenced by his time studying under Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893) at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris in 1885. This experience shaped his career and enhanced his expertise in neurology. Upon Charcot’s death in 1893, Massalongo authored a necrology reflecting on Charcot’s multidisciplinary genius and his pivotal contributions to medicine, particularly in neurology. This article presents a biographical overview of Roberto Massalongo, provides his necrology of Charcot—translated into English for the first time—and compares it with the more widely recognized obituary written by Sigmund Freud (1856–1939). Freud, who spent four months (October 20, 1885–February 28, 1886) at the Salpêtrière studying under Charcot, offered an analytical tribute that complements Massalongo’s more poetic homage. Both writings underscore Charcot’s enduring influence on his students and his pivotal role in establishing the anatomo-clinical method as a cornerstone of modern neurology. By exploring these necrologies, the article provides a nuanced perspective on Charcot’s legacy through the lens of two physicians shaped by his teachings.</p>
