The work displays the concepts of immigration and police, and other practices to regulate immigration in the free port of Trieste, in the 18th century, during which time special rules and procedures were applied to monitoring and controlling entry and exit to the city and urban labor market for porters (‘facchini’). This was the largest group of labourers, who were absolutely necessary for the operations of the port, while at the same time a source of social offences, and all sorts of forms of resistance.

The contribution is based on the selected examples from modern Friuli and Gorizia and it deals with a specific type of banditry, which was often a part of aristocratic ‘faidas’ and was directed against members of the noble class. Unlike the 'social rebellion', where the main actors were members of lower social layers, this type of banditry was formed by a number of impoverished nobles. It is possible to presume that both cases were a form of survival strategy.

Societies, which have always feared the social rebellion, have established mechanisms in the attempt to limit the risks of its break out. Stated mechanisms included also the care for poor and abandoned children. Namely, the political theory believed that an inappropriate care for neglected poor children was creating conditions for their subsequent deviant behaviour. The paper reveals these mechanisms of prevention in the case of Koper. In the time of Venetian governance Koper’s foundlings were taken care of in the »Spittal« of Saint Nazarius, where they remained for a brief period before being sent, accompanied by a childminder, to a Venetian orphanage. When the French took over the government in Istria in 1806 a beneficent congregation was founded in the town to take care of the foundlings. In 1839 a beneficent kindergarten for poor kids aged from three to six years was established in Koper by the effort of Antonio de Madonizza, Francesco del Tacco and Francesco and Marianna Grisoni and followed in 1859 by a beneficent institution Grisoni being in charge of the bringing up and educating children aged between six and twenty years.
