Sketches from Naples - the Island of Nisida, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Sketches from Naples - the Island of Nisida, [Italy] 1857. On this site, in more modem times, has been erected an "Ergastolo" - a building which, by law, must be upon an island, and to which are confined those who are condemned to imprisonment for life. This place is reserved in an especial manner for priests, who, according to a convention concluded between Gregory XVI. and the Government of the Two Sicilies in 1834, must be confined in separate prisons...That large whitewashed building on the top strikes even the stranger as a suspicious-looking spot, a place of unknown suffering and woe...How sad and silent the place looks!'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
