The Ospedale delle Bambole, or Doll Hospital, is a unique shop where dolls, teddy bears, and other toys are restored to their former glory. The hospital has been in operation for over a century and is now run by the original owner's great-granddaughter. The skilled 'doctors use glues, paints, and disinfectants to bring the toys back to health. The hospital also restores saints statues and other objects, using traditional techniques and materials such as porcelain, plastic, and wood. Visitors can see the various body parts and pieces, including a cabinet of heads and a bowl of eyeballs, which may be interesting but also a bit macabre. The Ospedale delle Bambole is a fascinating place to visit, especially for families with children who love dolls and toys
