Ospedale Bonifacio, Historic hospital building in San Gallo Street, Florence, Italy.
The Ospedale Bonifacio extends across an entire city block with its main entrance at numbers 81-83 on Via San Gallo in Florence.
Founded in 1377 by the Bonifazio Lupi family, the institution operated as Florence's mental asylum until 1924 when patients relocated to Ospedale di Careggi.
The ward for mentally ill women became the subject of artistic documentation through paintings by Italian artist Telemaco Signorini.
The building now functions as Florence's police headquarters, known as Palazzo della Questura, following extensive renovations completed in 1930.
The hospital compound integrated multiple healthcare facilities in 1787 under Peter Leopold's directive to centralize care for invalids and mental patients.
