Hiking with Daphne

We went to the very end of the Caveoso. Not much has been renovated. We found a gallery spread out through several caves. These caves were formerly a cloister that housed the ospedale psichiatrico: psychiatric hospital ( given the time period, read lunatic asylum).

The exhibit featured several artsts' works on the theme of the former patients. It qas both beautiful and disturbing. The works were displayed amongst peeling frescoes and partially renovated caves accessed by walking along a narrow wooden walkway sometimes suspended over yawning casms.
