Hospitals and brotherhoods in 17th-century Lecce: For a reconstruction of the places dedicated to care, between secular and ecclesiastical management models
Abstract
In 17th century Lecce at least four hospitals were active in the city, these were: ‘Spirito Santo’, ‘Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini’, the Fatebenefratelli’s Hospital and the Hospital ‘Santi Maurizio e Lazzaro’. While the latter was dedicated exclusively to lepers and was located outside the city walls, the others were located within the city walls, and near the access to it. Today little or nothing remains of the 17th century hospitals of Lecce, except for the Hospital of the Holy Spirit. The locations of the other hospitals are known quite precisely.
Nella Lecce del XVII secolo erano attivi almeno quattro ospedali: 'Spirito Santo', 'Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini', l'ospedale dei Fatebenefratelli e l’Ospedale dei Santi Maurizio e Lazzaro, dedicato questo esclusivamente ai lebbrosi e ubicato fuori dalle mura cittadine, mentre gli altri si trovavano all’interno e in prossimità delle porte di accesso. Poco o nulla è rimasto degli ospedali della Lecce del XVII secolo, se non l’Ospedale dello Spirito Santo. Degli altri ospedali si conosce l’ubicazione in maniera piuttosto precisa.
