Cet article traitre des crimes familiaux commis à Venise et dans les environs à la fin du XIXe siècle. Il examine comment les jurys jugeaient les comportements criminels liés à la vie intime et domestique. Une attention particulière est portée aux procès pour meurtre, aux affaires d’infanticide, aux relations incestueuses et aux délits sexuels. Les Archives de l’État de Venise, sur l’île de la Giudecca, conservent les dossiers judiciaires des procès tenus à la cour d’assises de Venise entre 1871 et 1898. Ces archives permettent de mettre en lumière des fragments d’histoires humaines, jusqu’alors presque totalement ignorées par les travaux de recherche. En fonction des circonstances de l’affaire, les jurés peuvent passent de la clémence à la sévérité, certaines situations conduisant à des résultats inattendus. |

This article focuses on family crimes in Venice and the surrounding territory in the late nineteenth century. It investigates how juries judged criminal behaviours committed in the intimate world of domestic life, with special attention to murder trials, infanticide cases, incestuous relationships and sexual offences. The Giudecca section of the Venetian State Archive preserves the judicial records of the proceedings held at the court of Assize of Venice from 1871 to 1898, bringing to light fragments of human stories, to date almost completely ignored by research. Jurors’ deliberations in this kind of situations move from leniency to severity depending on the circumstances of the case, leading sometimes to unexpected results. |
