Poveglia Island, the Place With a Dark Past

Imagine a place that was a quarantine zone for nearly 160 thousand people infected with the plague! Yes, that’s the story behind Poveglia, a small island located between the Lido and Venice. What was even worse is the fact that most of them succumbed to the disease, and the place went on to have human remains in 50% of its soil.

In recent times, the island has been a mental hospital with stories, and once in a while, past tales of secrets and sinister experiments on the island come out.
