%X The Italian psychiatric ¡®revolution¡¯ is the story of a range of flexible, changing formulas, exposed to many ¡®contaminations¡¯. Historical reconstructions have remained anchored to the lure of a founding myth and an eponymous hero. This essay aims to shed light on the multi-faceted concept of the Italian ¡®moral management revolution¡¯. We especially focus on: the circumstances which triggered the innovation in its various form; the ¡®prototypes¡¯ available in other countries which have been variously recombined in the different local contexts; the ¡®special path¡¯ of action strategies which has driven the change towards radical closure of the asylums; and the cause¨Ceffect relationship between the above ¡®special path¡¯ and several aspects of the current state of deadlock
