A film by Gilberto Richiero and Giorgina Piccoli.
This film was made possible thanks to the support of ERA-EDTA and AMGEN EUROPE.
A few years ago the ERA-EDTA Council decided to create a historical archive of the Association and of European Nephrology. This project includes a number of interviews to the Pioneers of Nephrology in Europe, done by Dr Giorgina Piccoli, a nephrologist and an artist, with the help of the film-maker and musician Gilberto Richiero.
From the filmed material (over 50 hours of interviews) Giorgina Piccoli and Gilberto Richiero have created a movie, with original music by Gil Richiero performed by more than 300 artists. ERA-EDTA was proud to show this movie at the Opening Ceremony of the 49th ERA-EDTA congress. During the Opening Ceremony a book of photographs and quotes, companion of the film, was also distributed.
The complete interviews are available here.
The ERA-EDTA Council thanks Pierre Ronco for suggesting and following this project.
