Italy's mix of expansive buildings and narrow streets offers a rich canvas, especially its abandoned hospitals, left empty by changing laws.

These desolate spaces, once brimming with stories of healing, pain, and medical progression, now possess a serene emptiness – the tranquil beauty of the present.

Time continues to reshape this historic asylum. Its emptiness is emphasized not only by nature’s gradual reclamation but also by human intervention.

The surgical room, once filled with historical medical tools, is now missing items that have been stolen. Graffiti covers the old walls, introducing a contemporary element to the slowly decaying history.

As we pass through spaces where stories of healing and despair once unfolded, we bear witness to the silent interplay of the past and present.

Every vacant room and marred wall invites contemplation on the slowly fading stories that are held inside these walls.
