In 'De senectute', Norberto Bobbio, one of the most influential Italian philosophers, presents his reflections on old age and argues against the marginalization of the elderly in society. This book is a balance of a life dedicated to the study of law and politics, offering a deep and personal look at aging and memory. Bobbio invites reflection on how memories build our identity and help us survive, even when memory begins to fade.
