Daniele Mencarelli s semi-autobiographical second novel Everything Calls for Salvation
follows the involuntary hospitalisation of a 20-year-old eponymous Daniele in 1994,
his week of confinement, the people he meets, and the insight he gains. Each character
on the psychiatric ward serves a purpose. Frantic Madonnina, whose identity is unknown
and who only prays to the Virgin Mary, stands in contrast to Alessandro, who lies
motionless in a catatonic state. Jaded Mario, a former teacher, lectures on the nature
of mental illness and the bleakness of treatment.
