ASYLUM RECORDS - ITALY
Patient treatment records lie scattered across the floor inside a storage area at a long abandoned psychiatric hospital in northern Italy. No idea why the records had not been removed when the hospital closed down in 1989. It has the slightly sinister history of being the first hospital in Europe to conduct Prefrontal Lobe Lobotomies. The hospital is also one of the most photogenic places I have been to over the years with amazing vistas around every corner.
