History

The Plague in Siena: An Italian Chronicle, Agnolo Di Tura, 1348. “They died by the hundreds, both day and night, and all were thrown in ... ditches and covered with earth. And as soon as those ditches were filled, more were dug. And I, Agnolo di Tura ... buried my five children with my own hands. And there were also those who were so sparsely covered with earth that the dogs dragged them forth and devoured many bodies throughout the city. There was no one who wept for any death, for all awaited death. And so many died that all believed that it was the end of the world.” Based on this document only, what did Agnolo do? How was death treated? What inference can be made about day to day life in Sienna during this time period
