This hospital really does not give any kind of respect to its patients. With such cruel treatment, it is not understood whether the patients here will be cured or become even more unstable. Not so that Oreste Ferdinand Nannetti, a patient kept here for 14 years, has repeatedly engraved cryptic characters on the 180 square meters of Volterra’s inner courtyard wall.
