Mental asylums radiate a mysterious allure soaked with anguish, injustice, prevarication and deceit.

Volterra former psychiatric hospital originated from an economic evaluation. In the XVIII century, the community of Pisa used to send its own mental patients at a dear price to Siena. To save money, the city launched an offer that was met by Volterra. Therefore, the Mendicity Hospice of this town welcomed the initial body of mental patients and, in 1989 the Mental Asylum was established. The first pavilion was erected near a hilltop called Poggio alle Croci. Read more “VOLTERRA FORMER PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL” →

The places around where I live, where people go to run ordinary or extraordinary errands, may seem nondescript. Nevertheless, in all their ugliness  they retain a certain relevancy. Read more “Nowhereland in Suburbia” →

I shot these images to try out a new lens and these friends patiently accepted to pose for me. I know M. since I was ten or something. Italy was going throught a period of great economic development called “Boom” and we had great expectations for our future. Ages… I met P. in a pizza restaurant the night she and M. first met. So, quite some friends. Thank you friends.

Ho scattato queste foto per provare un nuovo obiettivo e questi amici hanno accettato di posare per me. Conosco M. da quando avevo dieci anni o giù di lì. L’Italia stava allora vivendo un periodo di grande sviluppo, il famoso “Boom economico”, e noi coltivavamo grandi speranze per il futuro. Secoli fa… Ho incontrato P. in una pizzeria la sera che lei e M. si sono incontrati per la prima volta. Insomma, grandi amici. Grazie amici.
