The story of Siena’s hospital is steeped in tradition and history. Its historical, cultural and scientific heritage is related to the old “Spedale Santa Maria della Scala”, the first mentions of which date back to 1090. Over the centuries, the old hospital, located in front of the Cathedral, gradually became unable to meet the city’s needs. By 1905 an aristocratic Sienese scholar of art and history, Fabio Bargagli Pertrucci, had proposed moving the hospital to a new site, but it wasn’t until the early 1950’s that the University of Siena really promoted the idea of building a new hospital.
