wear of the lost souls
I walked in a strange and dismal atmosphere through the halls of this abandoned lunatic asylum. It's closed since many years and tells of terrible history. No lough is left here, only pain and torture against the poor patients of former times, another tragic step in italy's history of lunatic asylums. Many years ago one bed after another filled the halls, terrible cirumstances, bad treatment - the equal dark suits of the patients only differ by the sewed names in it.

Amazing Sven... i like it
I like this photo
Great shot!
It's amazing how these places still exist! Nobody use them, so I could move. hmm, reminds me en episode of Shelock Holmes!

Very nice Sven.
Sven Fennema  Thank you so much Kaveh, yes indeed! Hard to imagine, especially regarding the state - Can you imagine the door was just open? Here the place would be destroyed, trashed and filled with grafiti, seems that in italy people have more respect for such things.

Wonderful and terrible place at the same time .
I like the light coming from outside and the dark suits of the patients evoking the old bad times .
Congratulations
