Il XV secolo segnò una congiuntura critica con forti ripercussioni sulle strutture economiche, politiche e assistenziali. Per rispondere alle esigenze di una società in trasformazione e in linea con un processo di riforma del sistema ospedaliero, anche a Palermo le piccole strutture che avevano garantito accoglienza e minime forme di assistenza furono aggregate in un grande ospedale. Il saggio delinea il complesso percorso fondativo del nuovo ente palermitano, ispirato a modelli diversi di gestione ospedaliera.
