Alongside the architectural splendor and intellectual brilliance of early Renaissance Florence there existed a second world of poverty misery social despair and child abandonment The Ospedale degli Innocenti Hospital of the Innocents designed and built between 1419 and 1445 by the renowned architect Filippo Brunelleschi united these disparate worlds Christian charity and compassion as well as the humanist commitment to social perfection family values and love for children were intertwined with a civic pride in which charity curried Gods favor and invoked Gods blessings on the citys fortunesBased on a close and attentive reading of archival material from the hospital and from the Florentine State Archives Charity and Children in Renaissance Florence both chronicles the concerns and ambivalence of parents who abandoned children and follows the lives of the hospitals inhabitants from childhood to death The book also demonstrates how hospital officials deliberately duplicated the structure and values of the Florentine family within the hospital walls Gavitts research shows that early modern foundling hospitals were not charnel houses where parents knowingly and impersonally abandoned their unwanted children to certain death Charity and Children in Renaissance Florence provokes reflection on the contrast between our own views on the care of homeless children and those of the Italian RenaissanceWinner of the Society for Italian Historical Studies 1988 Award for Best Unpublished Manuscript
