Excellent perspective and lighting! Curious to know Motts, if you switched out your original lens to get this shot- the angle is attractively cacophonous. . .if that makes sense.

Not sure what that gray box is - definitely has a flip-up lid and some horizontal controls/readouts. I'd say they were temperature controls, but those seem to be on the other side, inside a glass cabinet. Perhaps they served the A/C units inside the cooler, or high temperature alarm.

Italy was one of the first countries to embrace the deinsitutionalization movement - patients were transferred from large asylums into small community-based homes. From what I've read, the deconstruction of these massive hospitals required many years of planning as well as strong and innovative community mental health services to properly handle the relocated people. The United States is often criticized for not having these proper services in place during their deinsitutionalization process.

Shelves are straight, it's just a super wide angle photo. Some windows on the other side of the room cast small areas of light around.

When the mold is "really bad" (my unprofessional decision) I'll wear a mask, but usually these places don't seem too overrun by spores.
