Fighting the Plague in Seventeenth Century Italy

Carlo M. Cipolla

Fighting the Plague in Seventeenth Century Italy

After the great pandemic of 1348, the plague became endemic in Europe, affecting life at every level for more than three hundred years. In attempting to fight the dread enemy, the North Italian states had developed a sophisticated system of public health. Carlo Cipolla throws new light on this subject, utilizing newly uncovered archival material.
