Ilaria Capua

The enormous advances made by medicine over the past two hundred and fifty years have accustomed us to taking health for granted. Out of the blue, however, the pandemic has revealed to us that we have hidden vulnerabilities and that individual health is by no means unrelated to collective and system health. Ilaria Capua draws, in short, a historical and emotional atlas that will allow us to interpret the times we are living in, a guide to imagine how our health could change if only we could change our paradigm and our vision. This is an immediate and easy-to-understand work but one that does not forgo in-depth study and higher reasoning, the kind that always reaches from the head even to the heart.
