ASYLUMS FOR THE CRIMINALLY INSANE

In March 2015, Italy shut down the last six asylums for the criminally insane that had remained functioning in the country. In partnership with Jacopo Santambrogio and the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Milano-Bicocca, I documented their inmates’ last days in these institutions and recorded their stories. The work was published as a photo reportage and as a series on the Italian daily La Stampa.
