Antologia dei filmati neuropatologici di Camillo Negro e Roberto Omegna

Overview

Camillo Negro, professor of neurology at the University of Turin, was a pioneer of "scientific cinematography". Between 1906 and 1918, with the help of his assistant Giuseppe Roasenda, he had some of his patients filmed for educational purposes by Roberto Omegna, one of the major Italian operators. During the war years he continued his scientific cinematography project at the Turin Military Hospital, documenting war syndromes in soldiers.
