This week's episode covers a particularly turbulent time in Italian history: from WWI to WWII and the birth of the Republic. Find out how Volterra Lunatic Asylum fared during wartime and why it began to help feed the surrounding city of Volterra. Learn why the hospital superintendent was forced to retire after 34 years on the job. Discover how Fascism infiltrated every aspect of daily life.
My main sources for this episode are the Manicomio di Volterra website and several Britannica articles on WWI, WWII, and the rise of Facism. All sources will be listed at the end of the episode transcript.
