This volume reconstructs Carlo Livi (1823-1877)'s biography, focusing on his medical and psychiatric work and on his path as a man and intellectual who lived during the Italian Risorgimento. Livi was a key figure in Italian psychiatry, halfway between the therapeutic optimism of the early 19th century and the pessimism of post-Darwinian psychiatry, both in the practical aspects and in the theoretical elaboration. The study highlights how, in this case, the moral treatment applied by 19th century psychiatry throughout Europe is linked to the events of the Italian Risorgimento. The moralizing and educational request, as well as the anthropological study of the human being, were aimed at the sick, the insane, at children, at criminals and the Italian people in order to carry out a national and secular project of social regeneration in Italy.

In 1840, a French alienist, or psychiatrist, Joseph Guillaume Desmaisons Dupallans, visited a number of Italian asylums with the objective of discovering the best solution for the institute he was planning to set up in the vicinity of Bordeaux. This book comprises an Italian translation of the notes he made on this trip, conserved in a manuscript in the library of the former psychiatric hospital of San Salvi (Florence). Offering an extremely precise and detailed review of the structures visited, the work is a fascinating and important source for the reconstruction of the history of the institutes for the insane in Italy and also for the history of psychiatry itself. Nel 1840, un alienista francese, Joseph Guillaume Desmaisons Dupallans, compì un viaggio nei manicomi d'Italia per individuare quale potesse essere la soluzione migliore, a cui ispirare l'istituto che avrebbe costruito nei pressi di Bordeaux. Il volume pubblica in traduzione italiana gli appunti di tale ricognizione, conservati in un manoscritto presso la biblioteca dell'ex Ospedale psichiatrico di San Salvi (Firenze). Proponendo una rassegna estremamente precisa e dettagliata delle strutture visitate, l'opera rappresenta una fonte importantissima per la ricostruzione della storia degli Istituti per alienati in Italia e uno strumento per la stessa storia della psichiatria.
