Hard to say really, other than a communal space; there wasn't much evidence left behind, and I really don't know how a typical Italian psychiatric hospital operated.

String Man seems to be à man of many creative artistic talents!

Motts, your photos actually are à commentary on this portion of String Man's life. We have been able to learn so much about him through the lenses of your cameras, even tho he may no longer be there at the hospital in person. Thanks for giving us so much insight into this unique person!

He didn't enter the building, but yeah it's quite possible!

I believe most of it was addressed to one person, but I can't say for certain if that is the case or even if was his name.

Well, you people do know don't you that many people with mental illnesses do self-medicate? Especially if they're not on medication or medication is not available to them for whatever reason.

You know String Man must have lived here quite à while to havé collected so much stuff, and to have made so much stuff and decorated his ''home''. It makes me so sad to think that the people who control the property now, probably threw String Man off the property without allowing him to retrieve his most prized possesions first. : (

I was just thinking the same thing, Joy!

UGH! That sink is totally disgusting!

Neato, Motts! Were these a part of a collection of things that belonged to the Stringman? Or did these belong to the hospital, or another patient that left them behind?

I have a question. If a person no longer has their gallbladder, will unsweetened lemon juice help clean ones liver out? Or does the unsweetened lemon juice just work on cleaning the gallbladder out? I hope someone can answer this who is knowledgable about the subject. Thanks!.....BTW, Motts, the liquid that's left in that bottle looks nasty! Blah!

Okay! NOT amusing -B- or Prancer! Seriously! Stringman must have taken some comfort and/or inspiration from this poster of Pope John Paul ll. I, too, really liked Pope John Paul ll, and I'm not Catholic either. I'm United Methodist.....Nice picture of the poster of Pope J.P. ll, Motts!

I don't think I've seen so many holes in socks before!

I agree with wanderer. Stringman had to have been a hoarder! I wonder if he was ever able to sleep in any of those beds because they're all full of stuff? I bet he ended up sleeping on the floor, instead. Now that IS sad! : (

All very interesting, and all things to contemplate about! Another great ''conversational'' photo, Motts! : D
