Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Steering Committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to the 10th Congress of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine and 63rd Italian National Congress of SIAARTI, which will take place in Florence, Italy, August 28th - September 1st 2009.Italy has long been a centre of excellence in the field of Intensive and Critical Care, and local talent has been combined with a long list of international speakers to create what promises to be an exceptional programme.The focus of the scientific programme will be the “state of the art” of our fields as well as new insights into basic science, clinical research and therapeutic interventions. The Scientific Committee is currently developing a programme that will consider refresher courses, lectures, symposia, panel discussions, workshops and, of course, free oral communications and poster presentations. During the Congress, an exhibition will be held over a large area: exhibitors from countries around the globe will give participants an opportunity to experience the latest available medical technologies. As well as the scientific programme, we have planned a series of social events that should allow you to learn a little more about Florence and the wonderful region of Tuscany. Florence has much to offer: a rich cultural and historical life, great food and, during the summer, a busy series of world-class entertainment events. I’m looking forward to seeing you in August!Luciano Gattinoni President of Società Italiana di Anestesia, Analgesia, Rianimazione e Terapia Intensiva (SIAARTI)

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Council of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine may I extend a warm welcome to the 10th World Congress. It also gives me great pleasure formally to invite medical professional and industry colleagues to participate and join us in this major event. This is the first occasion that the World Congress has been hosted at a European venue since 1993. The excellence of the scientific programme and faculty of speakers combined with the historical and cultural attractions of the beautiful city of Florence will provide a unique opportunity to share experiences and knowledge in intensive and critical care medicine. This will be a memorable event and one which should not be missed.The central role of the World Federation is to promote the highest standards of care for the critically ill patient and the 10th World Congress will be an important step towards the achievement of this goal.I look forward to welcoming you to Florence in August.Yours faithfullyJosé Besso President of World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM)

Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Council of the World Federation of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN), I am delighted to pledge our joint support and collaboration with the WFSICCM, SIAARTI and ANIARTI to again host a quadrennial critical care congress that celebrates the development and achievement of world wide critical care practice in the Italian city of Florence in August 2009. The significance of this quadrennial meeting has taken centre stage on the critical care calendar every 4 years and the 2009 Florence Congress promises to be one of the most significant meetings for multidisciplinary collaborative participation in our history.WFCCN encourage critical care nurses, doctors, allied health professionals and industry partners throughout the world to join us in celebrating and participating in this important and professionally stimulating week.We congratulate our medical and nursing colleagues in Italy and throughout the world for contributing their time and resources to the development of this meeting and look forward to joining you in what promises to be a great week of learning and sharing in Florence, 28 August - 1 September.Ged Williams President of World Federation of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN)

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great privilege to welcome you to Florence on behalf of the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS). WFPICCS is made up of societies throughout the world (including nurses, doctors and other professionals) who share a common interest in the care of critically ill or injured children or neonates. Pediatric critical care is a relatively young discipline that is rapidly expanding and developing. The nature of pediatric critical care varies enormously across the world, and this is a wonderful opportunity for us to meet with each other, with adult intensivists and intensive care nurses so that we can learn from each other; share our experiences; discuss challenging issues and renew our enthusiasm and passion for the care of the critically ill. The organizing committee have put together an exciting programme, both scientifically and socially, and this in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is wonderful to meet in a city which is so steeped in history and culture.We would like to congratulate our colleagues from Italy for hosting this great event; thank the adult and nursing world federations for inviting us to share this occasion with them; and invite all those with an interest in intensive and critical care for children to join us at this meeting, which will be challenging, exciting and most of all fun…With best wishes

Andrew Argent President of World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS)

Congress VenueThe Fortezza da Basso, a short distance from the Central Railway Station of Santa Maria Novella, is one of the city’s most important monuments from the Medici era. It was designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger in the first half of the 1500s on commission from Alessandro de’ Medici. The complex extends over an area of almost 100,000 square metres (55,000 indoor); the number and variety of its rooms and spaces make it an ideal setting for conferences and trade fairs.

Guided visit to the Vasari CorridorAfternoon (3 hours) Saturday, August 29, 2009

The Vasari Corridor, normally closed to the Public, is an elevated enclosed passageway in Florence (more than a kilometer) which connects the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti, passing over the Uffizi Gallery and the Ponte Vecchio. It was built in 5 months by order of Grand Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici in 1565, to the design of Giorgio Vasari. The idea of an enclosed passageway was motivated by the Grand Duke’s desire to move freely between his residence and the government palace, when, like most monarchs of the period, he felt insecure in public, in his case especially because he had replaced the Republic of Florence. The meat market of Ponte Vecchio was moved to avoid its smell reaching into the passage, its place being taken by the goldsmith shops that still occupy the bridge. At the latter extremity, the corridor was forced to pass around the Mannelli’s Tower, after the staunch opposition of that family to its destruction. In the middle of Ponte Vecchio the corridor is characterised by a series of panoramic windows facing the Arno, in direction of the Ponte Santa Trinita. After the Ponte Vecchio the Corridor passes over the loggiato of the church of Santa Felicita; at that point it had a balcony, protected by a thick railing, looking into the interior of the church, in order to allow the Grand Duke’s family to follow services without mixing with the populace. In its Uffizi section the Vasari Corridor is used to exhibit the museum’s famous collection of self-portraits.

Our special tour includes also the visit to the Uffizi Gallery one of the most important art galleries in the world. Here you can admire numerous works of art by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Giotto, Cimabue, Masaccio.
