Beppino Englaro is not just a father who transformed his personal pain into a universal legacy: he is the architect of a historic battle that has marked Italian jurisprudence and public opinion. Through the story of his daughter Eluana, he fiercely and clearly defended the principle of the right to refuse treatment, helping to shape the Living Will and paving the way for a concrete recognition of self-determination in end-of-life matters. His testimony has shaken consciences, influenced laws and decisions of the Constitutional Court, and made Italy a reference point in the European landscape for civil rights. Today, over 15 years since that indelible page of our recent history, Englaro continues to illuminate the path toward a conscious society.
The dialogue with Beppino Englaro will be skillfully moderated by Francesca Merz, a journalist with a degree in Law.
