Not far from the Piazza del Popolo is this macabre little shop window. The Ospedale delle Bambole or “Doll Hospital” 

In this workshop Federico Squatriti and his mother Gelsomina nurse ailing dolls and other porcelain objects back to health.

So as frightful as it looks to some their hearts are in the right place trying to mend others heirlooms and sentimental pieces.
