The Factory of Ideas/Fabbrica Delle Idee

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the experiences of 77 individuals, the narrative reveals the harsh realities faced by those deemed "abnormal" and confined to inhumane institutions. These voices, including that of the author's grandfather, illustrate the profound impact of societal norms that marginalized them. The book highlights the struggle for sanity and humanity within the oppressive environment of "insane asylums," ultimately culminating in the closure of these institutions with the Basaglia Law in 1978.
