Abstract

The first genoese Psychiatric Hospital was based upon the plan and construction of a clear model, Antoine Petit’s Hotel-dieu in Paris. It was just a circular wall containing inside it the six-arms that made up the house for lunatics. Italian Psychiatry dawned when Europe was attempting to organize specialized structures for particular groups of people (prisons, civil and psychiatric Hospitals, orphanages) from the consolidation of the hegemony of the bourgeois class.
