The small workshop-museum on Via San Biagio dei Librai where dolls and puppets are «cured».

The Dolls' Hospital is on Via San Biagio dei Librai, along Spaccanapoli. It was started at the end of the 19th century by Luigi Grassi, a set designer for puppet theatres, who began repairing dolls and puppets.Today it is a small workshop-museum full of dolls, heads and porcelain limbs, much loved by adults and children alike.
