Cividale del Friuli
In Italy the physician Giorgio Antonucci, in his work at the hospitals of Gorizia, Cividale del Friuli and Imola since the late 1960s, has avoided involuntary hospitalisation and any kind of coercion, rejecting the diagnosis as psychiatric prejudice. During the years 1973-1996 he worked on the dismantling of the psychiatric hospitals "Osservanza" and "Luigi Lolli" in Imola. He currently collaborates with the Italian branch of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights.
