Wall of Dolls

Interesting and creepy same time. No need to make a trip to see the wall but you can reach it easily from Duomo if you really interested.

You are walking around the center of town, like most dutiful tourists do… you have marvelled the Colonne Di San lorenzo (one of the vrey few Roman remains still «intact»… you are probably either looking for a great place to eat, or are lost… and…
You stumble upon a white wall decorated with old dolls pinned on the wall… DO NOT FEAR.. you are not partaking in the latest horror sequel of SAW…
It is simply a permament exhibition, to which you may choose to give your personal contribution.
All dolls up on the wall represent a woman who has been killed (by a relative or an ex lover/​husband).
YES.. i realize many may think this is a bit GORY, sending a chill down your spine… but, life is not not all fairytale like…
AND if you have stopped and thought about how in Italy a woman is killed every 3 days, then. this exhibit has served its purpose. .
I will remember, one of these days, to pin my own doll up on the wall, symbolizing how lucky i was to survive my own demon and live to tell my story.

Es bonito, una acción artística de protesta y de visibilidad de la mujer y de la niñas. Cientos de muñecas que adornan una pared y que cautivan la mirada de todo pasajero que se ande por ahí como despistado, o consciente, o lo que sea. Vamos que te fijas y te fijas bien porque es un buen trozo de muro con un buen montón de muñecas que a mi personalmente me recuerdan a cómo eran las habitaciones de mis vecinas cuando era pequeño que las tenían así en la pared. Y creo que esto ya no se lleva.
Es una reflexión, es una invitación a la defensa de todas nuestras amigas, es una intervención artística bonita.
