Via dei Malcontenti is the street the Florentine prisoners would walk down before being excecuted. Via dei Malcontenti connects Via delle Casine to Piazza Piave. Today, the street consists of apartments, a church, and a school. During the day, the road is quiet and calming. The following set of images are what a prisoner would have seen walking down Via dei Malcontenti before the execution. 

Photography student Molli A. Browne imagines the final moments of a prisoner walking down Via dei Malcontenti.

My time has come.
My darkest day…
I pray for forgiveness, I pray for my sins.
My last chance.
Gone.
