In a climate strongly Christian, which was that of Padua High Middle Ages, there is a strong awareness time for solidarity those most in need that is rooted in popular piety, as required by the Christian spirit. From the beginning, Christians were engaged in a spirit of charity to support the needy, widows, orphans, the sick and poor, providing love and understanding, but also food, care and treatment. In this context, there is the transition from piety to the merciful solidarity not as compassion, but as a new share ratio : so we see the emergence of religious orders and congregations with charitable purposes (Franciscans, Dominicans, Augustinians, hermits).

From the fourteenth century, at the initiative of Carrara, many colleges are open to accommodate students from poor families, established in 1414 is the hospital of S. Francis, the first example of a modern organization, "which had as its primary purpose the care of the sick poor.
