In the second half of the 17th century, thanks to a noblewoman from Florence's bequest, the Institute offered hospitality to "infidels" of all origins, and the number of conversions increased considerably. Such liberality ended up causing a serious economic crisis, which the Lorraine Grand Dukes tried to solve in the 18th century by restricting the field of action to Tuscan subjects only. However, there was no lack of abuse and interference by clergymen, especially towards Jews. 517 $aPer amor del cielo 606 $aConversion$xCatholic Church 606 $aCatholic converts 607 $aItaly$zFlorence 615 0$aConversion$xCatholic Church. 615 0$aCatholic converts. 676 $a248 700 $aMarconcini$b Samuela$01348670 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571778303321 996 $aPer amor del cielo$93086246 997 $aUNINA
