Ospizio di Carità

Ospizio di Carità was a historical charitable institution in Italy, serving as a hospice or refuge for the poor, homeless, and travelers. It provided shelter, basic necessities, and support to those in need, often operated by religious or civic organizations. These institutions aimed to promote charity, social welfare, and moral responsibility within communities. The Ospizio di Carità played an essential role in helping vulnerable populations, especially before modern social welfare systems were established. It reflected a compassionate approach to social care rooted in religious and civic values, ensuring that the less fortunate had a safe place to stay and assistance.
