This small island located in the Venetian Lagoon, located between Venice and Lido is known for the dilapidated 17th-century asylum for the mentally ill. Tales of hauntings, ghostly moans, screams and spectres make this place known as one of the most haunted locations in the world. 

Complete with a plague burial ground, this site is deserted and off-limits, making images reasonably rare. 

Stranger yet is the local’s reaction to being asked questions about this foreboding place; very few Venetians talk about the island or answer questions. Many pretend the island doesn’t even exist, which only adds to the mystery, intrigue, and ultimate sadness of the location. 

I regularly organize photography workshops, especially the 10h Black and White that include a visit to Poveglia. Check with me about availability.
