Psychotherapy", Italy, active

On Saturday, November 9, 2024, the day which would have been Pier Francesco Galli's 93rd birthday, we met at the Cinema Modernissimo, of Bologna's Cineteca, in Piazza Re Enzo (near the Main Square), from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm. We saw Francesco Merini's movie I settant'anni di un maestro ("The Seventy Years of a Master") that was given to Galli as a present for his 70th birthday. The historian and economist Giulio Sapelli (Emeritus Professor at the University of Milan), who was a close friend of Galli, intervened (see the brochure and the November 2024 program of Cinema Modernissimo)
On July 15, 2024. Pier Francesco Galli, founder of the journal Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane, died
