The exhibition "Cose di pazzi. Memorie di vite poi recluse" is hosted at the State Archives of Salerno from September 22 to October 15, 2026. The exhibition enhances the cultural heritage of the former psychiatric hospital "Vittorio Emanuele II" in Nocera Inferiore, thanks to the discovery of about a thousand files from the "Fagotteria" office, where patients' personal effects were kept upon admission. Among the exhibited objects are faded portraits, sacred images, work tools, watches, rings, and earrings. Registers and medical records complete the story of the lives of those who were confined, offering a glimpse into their stories and the eras they lived through.
