摘要：Almost one year ago, in December 2012, a seminar was held in Bologna to commemorate Alessandro Libe-rati, who had died at the beginning of the year. Some of the most renown experts in the area of evidence-based medicine, clinical research and public health, who had known Liberati for many years, convened to give a con-tribution. Now, one year later, a book that includes their interventions has been published: La sanità tra ragione e passione. Il Pensiero Scientifico Editore, 2013, Rome.The book is inspired by the famous "Six memos for the next millennium", the last work by Italo Calvino, who was devising a series of lectures to be given at Har-vard in 1985. He grouped his thoughts on literature under six headings (lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, multiplicity and consistency).
