The Ospedale di Mantova was created in the 15th century by the will of Ludovico Gonzaga through the unification of several pre-existing hospitals and hospices in the city and neighbouring villages, most of them run by religious institutes. This unification was approved by Pope Nicholas V in a Papal Bull dated 4 March 1449.
Ospedale Grande was the name given to the palace built in 1450 by the impulse of Ludovico Gonzaga, where both the real estate properties donated by benefactors were administered and welfare activities for disadvantaged citizens carried out. The Ospedale Grande, both as building and as charity institution, existed until 1630. From the 17th century the Ospedale di Mantova moved to new premises in a building designed by the architect Paolo Pozzo.
The whole corpus of documentation of the Ospedale di Mantova - both the various branches of the Archives and the historical Library - has been deposited at the State Archive of Mantua in various phases, the last between 2002 and 2005.
