Abstract
Verga describes a culturally and economically humble society, in a region characterized by large class gaps. It draws a difficult picture of the public health situation in the second half of the 19th Century and people’s daily lives. The authors believe that today it is important that the centenary of Verga’s death be an opportunity to read his works, also from a medical historical point of view.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
