3. Venice and the invention of public health

  • Summary

  • The plague was the main fear of the modern cities: not only it killed people, but it also killed trade. Venice lived of commerce and this is why Venetians first developed a permanent and efficient system of public health. The lagoon was the protagonist of a real revolution in this field, creating a model that was soon followed by the rest of Europe.
    In this episode, you'll hear about: the concept of plague, quarantine and fake news.

    [Authors: Riccardo Anselmi, Giulia Delogu, Francesca Filippi and Mariia Molodtsova.

    Music: Rise by Artur Aravidi; Soothing Serenade by Universfield (from Freemusicarchive.org)
