Letter to the president of the College of Medicine.
This text reprints the letter written by Giulio Alfredo Maccacaro (1924-1977) to the president of the College of Medicine in Milan, published in Jean-Claude Polack's La medicine del capitale [The medicine of capital]. This re-edition more than 40 years later, in the section Memory and History, seeks to recover the figure of Giulio Maccacaro not in his individual path but rather as a person inscribed in a collective movement--along with Giovanni Berlinguer, Franco Basaglia and many others--that rethought the role of medicine and combined scientific practice with a strong social commitment.
