Gianni Berengo Gardin was first approached by Carla Cerati, who wanted to create a report on psychiatric asylums. However, since she was afraid to go alone, she asked Gianni Berengo Gardin to accompany her. He agreed on the condition that he also take photographs, and thus the book 'Morire di classe,' published in 1969, was created with texts by the founder of anti-psychiatry, Franco Basaglia. In this first edition, published with the names of both authors in a collective work approach, the photographic credit for all the photographs was not individualized. The publication of this book helped Franco Basaglia achieve the abolition of the law on psychiatric confinement at that time.
