Volterra is a walled mountaintop town in the Tuscany region of Italy. Its history dates from before the 7th century BC and it has substantial structures from the Etruscan, Roman, and Medieval periods. The former psychiatric hospital of Volterra, born in 1887, was an institution for the hospitalization of mental patients and now is a REMS (Residences for the execution of security measures)
“Villa Guicciardini” is the intermediate structure with therapeutic intensive care and rehabilitation programs for psychiatric patients with diminuished responsability and patients judged not guilty for reason of insanity.
