On 11 and 12 May, the Di Liegro Foundation participated in the national meeting promoted by Unasam (National Union of Mental Health Associations), on the occasion of the forty years of the Basaglia law.
Approved on 13 January 1978, law 180 sanctioned the closure of mental asylums, bringing the inmates back to the outside world, restoring rights, dignity and citizenship to people with mental disorders.
A "revolutionary" regulation that has become a reference in the world for those who work in mental health. Even today, although hindered, implemented only partially and even betrayed, the Basaglia law is a powerful engine of transformation of the institutions for the affirmation of the civil and social rights of the most fragile subjects.
