Abstract

This essay presents the development of the asylum department of the San Giovanni di Dio hospital of Cagliari (1859-1890). It analyses the correspondence preserved by the Archivio di Stato of Cagliari in the archival collection Ospedale S. Giovanni di Dio and Prefettura. This asylum was part of the context of the time, both in terms of health and care activities, and in terms of political choices. The archives reveal themselves once again as a resource of inestimable value both for the restitution of memory and for the initiation of a new social and civil reflection.
