Some History…
1917—2017. The San Servolo Psychiatric and Mental Diseases observation military unit opened a century ago and within ten months hospitalized over 200 soldiers coming from the front or waiting to be sent there. The medical records show the tragedy and difficulties of those years, as well as the struggles that people had to go through during the war.
