The Florentine Office of the Night was created by the Florentine government. This was created to control homosexual activities (usually by men) during the time of the Italian Renaissance. This special magistracy was created on April 17, 1432. The purpose was to "root out...the abominable vice of sodomy." Between 1432 and the abolition of the magistracy in 1502, seventeen thousand men came to its attention, which, even over a 70 year period, represents a great number in a population of about forty thousand.
