Title: From applicant to inmate: The Regio Ospedale di Carita di Torino, 1748-1756

Abstract: After a brief history of the Ospedale di Carita, a study of four cities' poor-relief systems whose geographical locations circle the city of Turin, and a chapter on the institutional procedures, this statistical study concerns persons who applied for help during the years of 1748, 1750, 1752, 1754, and 1756.

A detailed database was compiled from the 2,347 applications for assistance, containing each applicant's family history, original request, and final disposition. Essentially, each record included the following data: the name, age and parentage of the applicant, parish and home location, and the nature of the help requested. Additional data included details of spouses and child(ren), medical condition and/or disability, and a record of the actions and procedures that followed.

The study is limited to the process by which the indigent persons applied for relief, and the institutional response they received. Some applicants were accepted into custody or hospitalized. Others were assigned a status similar to that of "outpatient." Still others were rejected, either conditionally or outright.

The study is divided into three parts: the identity and characteristics of the applicants, the factors of need, and the nature and quality of the institution's reaction to their petitions.
