      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>During the period between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, a significant evolution of welfare was experienced, thanks to the consolidation and specialization of the institutions which had been born or transformed with the specific function of carrying out solidarity and assistance activities. It is around these institutions that the research gathered in this volume was focused, with the aim of outlining their birth and evolution, but also their sources of financing and self-financing, the strategies and methods for acquiring resources, the management and evolution of assets, the functional organization and internal costs of supporting the people in need and the staff management. Those institutions often played a significant role in the territory where they operated, and numerous contributions focus on the economic and social effects produced by their action, not only in terms of redistribution of income and maintenance of social peace, but also in relation to any connection with the production companies, thanks to the launch on the market of products and services carried out by the institution’s clients or its staff. Lastly, a final section is dedicated to non-formal assistance networks (solidarity and forms of credit within families, groups of poor people, communities), through which individuals, communities and the whole of society, in the absence or lack of formalized structures, tried to protect themselves from the risks associated with poverty and physical incapacity.</p>

      <abstract xml:lang="it">
        <p>Il periodo compreso fra Medioevo ed Età Moderna registra una significativa evoluzione del welfare, attraverso il consolidamento e la specializzazione di istituzioni nate o trasformatesi con la precisa funzione di fare attività di solidarietà e assistenza.
È attorno a queste istituzioni che si sono concentrate le ricerche raccolte in questo volume, con l’obiettivo di delinearne la nascita e l’evoluzione, ma anche le fonti di finanziamento e autofinanziamento, le strategie e le modalità di acquisizione delle risorse, la gestione e la evoluzione dei patrimoni, l’organizzazione funzionale e i costi interni di sostegno ai bisognosi e di gestione del personale. 
Quelle istituzioni giocarono spesso un ruolo significativo nel territorio in cui operavano e numerosi contributi si soffermano sugli effetti economici e sociali prodotti dalla loro azione, non solo in termini di redistribuzione del reddito e mantenimento della pace sociale, ma anche in relazione all’eventuale rapporto con la realtà produttiva, grazie all’immissione sul mercato di prodotti e servizi svolti dagli assistititi o dal personale dell’istituzione.
Un’ultima sezione è infine dedicata alle reti di assistenza non formali (solidarietà e forme di credito in seno alle famiglie, ai gruppi di indigenti, alle comunità), attraverso le quali gli individui, le comunità e l’intera società, in assenza o carenza di strutture formalizzate, tentarono di proteggersi dai rischi legati all’indigenza e alla incapacità fisica.
