Carta al presidente del Colegio Médico / Letter to the president of the College of Medicine

Este texto reproduce la carta escrita por Giulio Alfredo Maccacaro (1924-1977) al presidente del Colegio Médico de Milán, publicada en 1972 en el libro La medicine del capitale de Jean-Claude Polack. Luego de más de 40 años, esta reedición en la sección Memoria e Historia tiene por objetivo recuperar la figura de Giulio Maccacaro, no como trayectoria individual, sino inscripto en un movimiento colectivo -junto a Giovanni Berlinguer, Franco Basaglia y tantos otros- que replanteó el papel de la medicina y logró conjugar la práctica científica con un fuerte compromiso social.(AU)
