The Ophelia Project by Giuseppe Quaroni and Marcello Piacentini refers to an innovative mental health hospital built in Potenza, Basilicata (Italy), in the 1910s. It was built in an area, Santa Maria, whose development over time has been greatly conditioned by this project. Nowadays this area is mainly made up of three or four-storey buildings with wide streets in between.
