The article reconstructs Carlo Cristiniʼs contribution to psychology. In particular, the contributions to the study of healthy and pathological ageing, to the training of operators and caregivers of the elderly, and to inter-disciplinary exchange are highlighted. The approach aimed at enhancing the resources of the elderly and recognising the uniqueness of the individual is emphasised. Lastly, mention is made of the work on the institutional level.
