Though these images were once used as crude diagnostic tools, they now offer a powerful window into the lives, struggles, and resilience of patients long forgotten. Tobia, who sees echoes of his own nursing days in these faces, has built a database of 8,000 patients and even helps families reconnect with their lost relatives. Museum director Stella Man highlights how these photos reveal ordinary people’s realities, often erased from history—and surprisingly, 46% of patients actually recovered and returned home, challenging the myth of asylums as places of despair.
