"What strikes one is the cynicism of the male character in the face of an invocation for help.

Basaglia was born in San Polo, Venice on March 11, 1924
Margherita:
"Once they tied me to a tree in the park – And it hurt my wrists and my legs / Occasionally a nurse would pass by and I would pray / 'I beg you, loosen that rope a little' / but they did nothing, pretended not to hear / and walked away / leaving me there alone / crying from the pain. / Yes, it's true, I was a little agitated as a young girl / but I was not a beast / Beasts are tied to trees / But not people."
Roberto Vecchioni – Sabato stelle
