Abstract
The paper illustrates the archival work on the repository of historical documentation kept in the Hospital ( documents from the end of the XIX century to 1978, the year of the Basaglia reform of psychiatric asylums). The paper also deals with the history of the Hospital, 1870 to out days, highlighting the 1913 opening of the 'Nuovo Manicomio Provinciale' and its subsequent evolution and administration, first by the Provincia di Roma then by USL and ASL.
