Milan's western suburbs: The former Marchiondi-Spagliardi Institute appears today as the gigantic remnant of a process of abandonment and bureaucratic alternations and disputes. Supported by tree trunks grown between pillars, walls and trilithons, it survives in that only part still active and functioning: a Day Care Center for the Disabled of the City of Milan. Neither shadow nor light recounts, through the decades from the 1950s to the present, the materialization and disintegration of a monumental container of utopias. An Institute, which housed so-called “difficult” boys, assuming the mission of offering them a home and a path of education, training and inclusion. A space in the making, aimed at building a “better world.” Designed in 1954 by Vittoriano Viganò, and directed by Dr. Angelo Donelli, a neuropsychiatrist who had envisioned an integration program for boys with psychosocial disorders, the Marchiondi today reveals itself to the eyes of the observer only when accompanied by a story. That story, which three boys of today, have decided to cross, between the rubble of the present and the memory of a past, which fades like light at sunset.
