In general there was great need of hospitals then.<br />The Yad Ben-Zvi guidebook says:<br />"The erection of the hospital expressed Italy's desire to gain a foothold beyond the walls of the Old City. Only in the late nineteenth century did the Italians begin to participate in construction outside the walls, which, in contrast to the other powers, had little influence on the appearance of West Jerusalem. Their building projects consist solely of the hospital and the Italian Consulate."Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-70649483703002428102012-02-24T23:50:42.952+02:002012-02-24T23:50:42.952+02:00Great building! 1912 to 1919 was a very difficult ...Great building! 1912 to 1919 was a very difficult time, so I wonder why they chose to build an Italian Hospital in Jerusalem - for Italian citizens on pilgrimage to the Holyland?
