In Rome, towards the end of the '400, clandestines excluding, were available approximately 6800 prostitutes. In Venice the prostitutes were forced to walk with a yellow handkerchief
around the neck like sign of acknowledgment. It was the sexual abstinence that the Church adopted as a remedy in order to avoid
such disease and Pope Paul IV, around to the half of the '500,
decreed with an edict an evicting from Rome and all the Papal State of the prostitutes.
The popular rebellion forced the Church to find a center to pratice prostitution across Tevere: today Trastevere. In the " De preservatione a carie gallica" of 1555, Gabriele Falloppia devised one individual protection against syphilis consisting in one patch of linen to shape of bag "ad mensuram glandis" soaked with mercury: it was the forerunner of the modern condom.

A Roma, verso la fine del `400, si contavano circa 6800 meretrici, escludendo le clandestine. A Venezia le prostitute erano costrette a girare con un fazzoletto giallo intorno al collo come segno di riconoscimento. Fu l`astinenza sessuale il provvedimento che la Chiesa adottò come rimedio per contrastare tale malattia, ed il Pontefice Paolo IV°, intorno alla metà del `500, decretò con un editto la cacciata da Roma e da tutto lo Stato Pontificio delle prostitute. Il malcontento popolare costrinse la Chiesa a trovare una sede dove fosse possibile praticare il meretricio lontano dalla città: si decise per una località al di là del Tevere, oggi Trastevere.
