letters to piera.

there were many letters to Piera Arienti,
in a cardboard box
at the flea market today.
at first I got all these letters and envelopes because of the awesome writings,
but then I had a closer look...


some of the letters are in italian, some of them in some dialect from the north of italy.
most of them were addressed to the same hospital room: 3° padiglione, room 18.

Piera had TBC.

I can't tell anything more about her story, but I assumed that she got out of the hospital after 3 years.
the last letter is a card announcing a birth of a baby, addressed apparently to Piera's home,in 1958, at least 7 years later.

does anybody know the whole story of Piera Arienti?
