Rosaria Carpinelli Consulenze Editoriali

The events of my life have never happened by chance, but have been favoured by meetings with extraordinary people, each of whom has contributed to what I have experienced: an unrepeatable existential adventure. Memory is the thread that runs through Paolo Crepet's life in search of the essential: the artistic roots of his family, the varied and cosmopolitan experiences of his education, the wonder of his discovery of psychiatry, the birth of his passion for writing. These pages, full of anecdotes and unusual events, reveal countless unique encounters, each of which has contributed to the construction of a personal and professional identity in constant renewal. The figure of Franco Basaglia stands out above all others, a friend and teacher, a man capable of transforming the concept of madness and recognising the fundamental rights of the most fragile and defenceless. The great stages of life are thus recounted in the light of a constant common denominator: affection, emotion, the ability to create a bond between oneself and others that transcends distance and time. The reader is entrusted with this lesson, which emerges from ironic and benevolent reminiscences, like rocks to hold on to while moving forward in the wide open sea.
