It’s interesting to note that if in Manzoni’s time, identifying the culprits among the alleged “untori” somehow helped quell popular revolts, today, using the same method, attention is diverted away from a system ill-equipped to provide adequate answers to citizens and lacking not only in treatment tools (with the exception of an extraordinary army of doctors and healthcare personnel) but also an efficient protocol to safeguard the health of individuals, including those most at risk such as disabled patients and those with debilitating conditions.
