The project to preserve the testimony of major figures in the monetary history of the second half of the 20th century and the implementation of the euro. These witnesses combine academic careers with those of political decision-makers.
The aim of the project is to interview architects of the euro in order to understand their deepest motivations, placing their actions in the context of their personal history and the political context of the time.
