250 Years of Veterinary Sciences at Turin - A Short Historical Journey
Why I recommend this?
One could be wondering, why would someone with an interest in Italian and in modern foreign languages watch a documentary on veterinary medicine?
Well, I would not want to spoil it for you therefore if you want to know the answer click on the link above and find out! This documentary (in English!) on the history of veterinary medicine in Italy is produced by our good friends and colleagues of the Veterinary School in Turin. It is a short but very informative and entertaining exploration of the history of how and why we have cared for animals. It shows surprising connections between humans and animals, medicine and veterinary medicine and the way in which culture has shaped in relation to animals.

[Editor's note: If you want to find out more interesting stuff about the history of veterinary medicine in general, have a look at this 'Early History of Veterinary Medicine and Colonial Animal Caregivers'. It talks about German 'horse doctors', 13th century Sicilian and 16th century Venetian equestrian care, 18th century Parisian anatomy halls, European veterinary medicine schools (of which the above was one fo teh early ones) and veterinary care in the 'New World'.
