title: [The 'dreams' of Cesare Augusto Levi: a pre-Freud interpretation].
abstract: On 25th February, 1887 Cesare Augusto Levi, a poet and archaeologist born in Venice in 1856, held a conference on dreams at the "Ateneo di Venezia". The conference deals with the nature of dreams, with the unconscious, with hypnosis and magnetism. Levi advocates a socially oriented version of psychiatry and he may be considered as a forerunner of Freud's theories.
