Descrizione

The history of Malta’s Magdalen Asylum represents a crucial example for analyzing practices and reformatory methods for penitent prostitutes throughout modern history. From the Santa Maria Maddalena Monastery, founded by Gran Maestro Verdala at the end of the 16th century, the paper will then analyze how the French and English control of the island influenced management and assistance of prostitution. Examining inedited sources, this paper attempts to reconstruct the lives of penitents in the Magdalen Asylum in the second half of the 19th century: beginning with their personal characteristics, alphabetization, health, origins, causes of prostitution, subsequently focusing on the methods and results obtained during their institutionalized period.
