Abstract
The abandoned children at the Ospedale Grande of Gubbio from the 17th to the 19th century This paper is a further contribution to the definition of the phenomenon of the abandonment of children in Umbria. The study, concerning the Hospital of Gubbio, was made possible by the availability of extensive archival documentation. This has allowed the collection of the information needed to reconstruct the entity of the abandon (particularly high in the first half of the Seventeenth century), its trend over time, the structural characteristics of the foundlings (sex, age at the time of the abandonment, parentage, fate) but also issues of social history such as the type of lifestyle in the Hospice, the methods of wet-nursing (internal and external), the causes which lead parents to the abandon and the destiny faced by the children.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
