Help finding a hospital.

[illinesi]

Hi.

On the interpretation forum Pippo kindly transcribed my great grandfather birth registration. It was in the Cremona records and says:

The baby was born in the "Ospizio degli Esposti e delle Partorienti", situated at 4, Piazza dell'Ospitale.
It doesn't say if he was then left in the same place to be grown up.
By searching in Google, it seems to be the only one there, but some local historian might be more accurate.

Having difficulties locating the hospital from google, as I plan to visit Italy next year. I found a Piazza DellOspitale in Trieste but not Cremona.
Many thanks.

Hi,
this is the Hospice-Hospital Mission and Regulation ( printed on 1872)and explains how it should be when a trap was brought

and from this other website a good info:
https://books.google.it/books?id=Dp9jAA ... ti&f=false

the Ospizio degli Esposti e delle Partorienti was in the Ospedale Civico/Maggiore, so a part of Ospedale Civico was for the foundlings and poor pregnant women....

moreover this other ebook give more infos and confirm that the Ospedale Civico https://books.google.it/books?id=eqBjAA ... ti&f=false
near S. Francesco Church, that is on Piazza Giovanni XXIII
and this is the old Ospedale and here was the Ospizio degli Esposti e delle Partorienti
