In 1978, thanks to the Basaglia Law, Italy was the first country in Europe not to have asylums. Before Basaglia Law, in Italy, there were ninety-eight psychiatric hospitals which housed about eighty-nine thousand internees. Since they were considered deviant in the light of this Law, people were also locked up who were not dangerous at all and who, above all, had absolutely no need for special treatments that required confinement in a hospital such as, for example, patients with depression, sex addiction , prostitutes and people with a homosexual orientation. Ecce homo was photographed between 2011-2021, the title comes from the Latin words used by Pontius Pilate in the Vulgate translation of the Gospel of John, when he presents a scourged Jesus, bound and crowned with thorns, to a hostile crowd shortly before his Crucifixion. At the basis of this project there is a respectful look towards numerous places of suffering, the relics of what remains of the Italian mental health system. In the photos of the reportage you can see objects, tools and environments in which the unfortunate patients unjustly suffered corporal punishment, isolated from the rest of the world in their pain. The camera is used as a tool to show frozen in time scenes and to convey how strong the human presence is still even after 45 years of neglect.
