Maria Brambilla Age 22 Length of stay: 11 Years Place: Ospedale neuropsichiatrico per la provincia di Cuneo - Racconigi
It is early in the morning when the 2 nurses come to get me and take me to Dr. Rosetti and put me on the chair.
Today I am going to be sterilized. I will never be able to have children again. I have always dreamed of a big family. Laughing children playing among the vines while my husband picks the grapes....all that will never happen.
The doctors think it is best because my epilepsy is hereditary. But no one has ever asked me if I want this. It is my body, my life. But I don't have a choice, just like I don't have a choice to be here.
The anesthesia begins to take effect. I slowly fall asleep. The last thing I see are the empty eyes of Dr. Rosetti, the man who took my dreams.
A photographic journey through the dark history of the forgotten asylums of Italy.
This collection is more than a photographic view of the past. It is a reminder of the forgotten souls of yesteryear and a wake-up call to our society to create more awareness for mental health and to continue to work on destigmatizing mentally ill people. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to a non-profit organization for traumatized people.
