“Echi
Silenzi e frastuoni
Rimbalzano
Da una parte all’altra”

“vetri rotti nell’anima
macigni di pietra sulle spalle
piedi affondati nell’argilla
un cielo cupo incombe
al mio sguardo sul tutto”

The Ospedale Psichiatrico in Volterra was founded towards the end of the 1800s and closed in 1978. Since then part of the structure has been transformed into a hospital but some buildings were left abandoned. The desolation and echoes of past inmates have inspired the photography of Francesco Spila and the poetry of Claudia Orzalesi.
