Libera Uscita

Libera Uscita (English: "Free Exit") was an Italian national association founded on 27 July 2001. It described itself as secular (laica) and non-partisan (apartitica), and its central mission was to promote and defend the right to die with dignity. The organization operated as an advocacy and membership association rather than a commercial enterprise, but it functioned as a recognized civil-society brand in the Italian public debate on end-of-life issues. The association pursued two main legal objectives. First, it campaigned to legalize the living will (testamento biologico), also called an advance treatment declaration (Dichiarazione anticipata di trattamento), so that individuals could decide in advance which medical treatments and life-support measures they would accept or refuse if they later became incapable of understanding or willing. Second, it sought the decriminalization of euthanasia, to prevent the prosecution of those who act in accordance with a person's expressed wishes. It also promoted the principle and importance of the secular character of institutions. Libera Uscita was affiliated with several international and Italian bodies: the World Federation of Right to Die Societies (WFRtDS), the European Federation for the Right to Die with Dignity (RtDE), the European Humanist Federation (FHE), and the Italian National Secular Coordination (Coordinamento Laico Nazionale, CLN). These affiliations placed it within a broader transnational network of right-to-die organizations. The association dissolved in 2023 and donated its assets in accordance with applicable law. Its official website was associazioneliberauscita.it. Because it was an advocacy association rather than a commercial company, it had no products, retail operations, or publicly listed status; its "offerings" were campaigns, legal proposals, and public information activities.

Libera Uscita was founded on 27 July 2001 as an Italian national association. It defined itself as secular and non-partisan, and its founding purpose was to secure the right to die with dignity. From its inception it combined two advocacy tracks: legalizing the living will (testamento biologico / advance treatment declaration) and decriminalizing euthanasia. It also worked to promote the secular character of state institutions. Over its two decades of activity, the association joined a set of umbrella organizations that gave it international and Italian visibility. It became affiliated with the World Federation of Right to Die Societies (WFRtDS), the European Federation for the Right to Die with Dignity (RtDE), the European Humanist Federation (FHE), and the Italian National Secular Coordination (Coordinamento Laico Nazionale, CLN). These affiliations connected it to the wider right-to-die movement in Europe and globally. The association maintained an official website at associazioneliberauscita.it, which served as its public information and membership channel. In 2023 Libera Uscita dissolved and donated its assets in accordance with the laws in force. No successor commercial entity is documented in the available evidence.
