The Waters of Health: Hallway

Hallway of the Waters of Health, Vestibolo delle Acque della Salute, Livorno
The recent photo and the old one show different views from opposite sides of the hallway, but I think it is still enough to get an idea of how it was then and of its current condition.

    Your photo is a fine example of "the beauty of decay."

    Yes, the beauty of decay. But it could have been restored and used for so many things! Restaurants, cafés, art galleries, museum, a bit of everything...

    Nice catch. I really like the side-by-side.

    Love the comparison of then and now photos. Seems the health fad of water has come and gone. Neat that the building still stands, but much neglected.
