This is the first thorough study of charity, and medical and poor relief, in post-Renaissance Italy. It departs from current interpretations by emphasising the various circumstances that motivated individual men and women to become involved in charity. It also challenges the assumption that continental welfare provision was characterised by the institutional confinement of the poor and sick.
