The Value of Study

On Why the Study of History Is Still Important

"[History] involves us in a larger global and timeless perspective. It makes us feel part of a whole but also brothers and sisters of all humanity. It frees our imagination and makes us...live their experience, it pushes us to compare it with ours and to feel less alone."
- Pierluigi Bolioli



Think Outside the Stigma

On Eliminating Medical Discrimination and Stigma Against People Diagnosed With Mental Illnesses:

"...offer free psychological and psychiatric support to every patient...People would so learn to accept mental issue as a common disease and stigma against mental illness would be reduced in general society and in the end among doctors."
- Pierluigi Bolioli
