Abstract

The study of the Nerviano Lazaretto in the context of the 17th-century plague is essential for un- derstanding the historical significance of epidemics. This site, with its unique combination of historical doc- uments and human remains, offers an extraordinary opportunity to deepen our understanding of the plague’s impact on the local population. A comprehensive interdisciplinary study integrating historical, anthropolog- ical, paleopathological, and archaeological data is necessary to unravel the complexities of the epidemic’s ef- fects. The findings from this research could not only enrich our understanding of the 17th-century plague but also contribute to the preservation of historical and anthropological heritage associated with the epidemic.
