Starting in 1976 Rosanna Benzi founded and directed a magazine "Gli Altri", from whose pages she launched some important campaigns to raise awareness of the issues of disability and social exclusion; among these we must mention the campaign against "architectural barriers" and that for the abatement of VAT on wheelchairs and on orthopedic garrisons. His inquiries into the handicap and sexuality of the disabled and the inadequate treatment that psychiatric patients could suffer in mental hospitals also had a significant impact. Among the books of Benzi we must list Il vizio di vivere (1984) and Girotondo in una stanza (1987).
Inspired by his story, in 1988 Dino Risi directed the fiction "Il vizio di vivere", where the role of Rosanna Benzi was played by actress Carol Alt.
