La dignità del rammendo: sulla giustizia riparativa

In brief

Marco Bernardoni discusses the themes of restorative justice in a review of a new book edited by Tania Gruppi and Alessandro Cortesi. The volume, titled La dignità del rammendo (The Dignity of Mending), was published by Nerbini in Florence in 2026.

The review connects the book's exploration of restorative justice to the work of Mario Tommasini, a collaborator of Franco Basaglia. Bernardoni notes that Tommasini viewed the closure of psychiatric hospitals not as an end point, but as a step toward a broader social process to move past institutions designed solely to monitor and punish, such as prisons.
