A life for others Anna Andreoli
At the dawn of the secular nursing profession
Anna Andreoli is a pioneer in the nursing profession; an icon of Piedmontese nursing care. Approaching the profession for personal health training needs to be spent on international aid, at a time when there was no equality between men and women and the nursing profession was still considered subordinate to the medical profession, it is subject to an educational mode of religious imprint that it does not share and that it considers reductive and demeaning.
It will be the training course in the Red Cross that will support it in its conviction of the need for a change in thinking about the profession and its training plan, with a view to secularism, sharing respect, cultural elevation and equality. Her enthusiasm and determination have made her able not only to open new schools for nurses but also to contribute enormously to the change we are seeing today in the nursing profession and the transition from auxiliary to autonomy.

Knowledge of healing
Knowledge of healing
The archive “knowledge of Healing” was created with the aim of giving space to the narration of the places of healing from a particular point of view: that of the patients and the medical staff. A point of view which differs from the statistical one that official relations use to describe the medical field. This is how we find new stories about how throughout time the relationship between patients and medical staff has changed, how knowledge has helped to bring change by offering the chance to critically revisit the training methods nowadays used.
