Franco Basaglia, Morire di classe, 2024

Morire di classe (1969) had long been out of print. We have decided to republish it now, in its entirety, so that it can testify to new generations about the condition of the mentally ill before the revolution of Franco Basaglia, Franca Ongaro Basaglia, and all the women and men who worked alongside them to overthrow that system. This collective effort marked a turning point in the management of mental health and led to the approval of Law 180. (Alberta Basaglia, Luca Formenton)

We thank Elena Ceratti and Gianni Berengo Gardin for their collaboration on the new edition of this “iconic” book.
