The Italian Plague of 1629-1631 was a series of outbreaks of bubonic plague from 1629 through 1631 in northern Italy. This epidemic, often referred to as Great Plague of Milan, claimed the lives of approximately 280,000 people, with the cities of Lombardy experiencing particularly high death rates. Germany and France troops carried the plague to the city of Mantua in 1629, as a result of troop movements associated with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Venice troops, infected with the disease, retreated into northern and central Italy, spreading the infection. In October 1629, the plague reached Milan, Lombardy's major commercial center. Although the city initiated effective public health measures, including quarantine and limiting the access of German soldiers and trade goods, the plague smoldered in Milan. A major outbreak in March 1630 was due to relaxed health measures during the carnival season. This was followed by a second wave in the spring and summer of 1631. Overall, Milan suffered approximately 60,000 fatalities out of a total population of 130,000. East of Lombardy, the republic of Venice was infected in 1630-31. Casualties of 46,000 people, out of a population of 140,000 were recorded. Some historians believe the drastic loss of life, and its impact on commerce, ultimately resulted in the downfall of Venice as a major commericial and political power. The papal city of Bologna lost an estimated 15,000 citizens to plague, with neighboring smaller cities of Modena and Parma also being heavily affected. This outbreak of plague also spread north into Tyrol, an alpine region of western Austria and northern Italy. Later outbreaks of bubonic plague in Italy include the city of Florence in 1630-1633 and the areas surrounding Naples, Rome and Genoa in 1656-1657. == Reference == * Cipolla, Carlo M.

==Name== Just for clarification: is the actual name "Italian Plague of 1629-1631", or just "Italian Plague"? What I'm saying is: is it called the Italian Plague, and it happened in 1629-1631? Becuse if so, the article should just be at Italian Plague, just as the Black Death (of 1348-1351) is there. Or if it is ''called'' the "Italian Plague ''of 1629-1631''" then this is fine. --User:Dmcdevit 21:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC) :There were other Italian Plagues in various areas and at various times. Two other "Italian Plagues" are historically relevant -- 1477-79 and 1656-57. As a historian, dates seem the easiest way to distinguish them -- but the public dislikes dates! Other suggestions? (btw - I did a redirect for Great Plague of Milan.) User:WBardwin 21:08, 23 May 2005 (UTC) ::Well the issue is if the dates included, like the article's name, are the dates in the ''commonly accepted'' name. Otherwise, it's still perfectly acceptable to have the dates in the article title even if they're just disambigutory in nature because of the multiple occurences, but it should just go like this: Italian Plague (1629-1631), as opposed to, say, Italian Plague (1477-1479). --User:Dmcdevit 21:23, 23 May 2005 (UTC) :::The problem is not here, but with the page Plague as it exists. Plague should be a trunk, listing all the separate ''occasions'' of plague and ''types'' of plague that have their own individual entries, with brief descriptive paragraphs headed by a ''Main article...'' italic header. Then there should also be a Plague (disambiguation) page created for Pokemon figures and electronic games and the like. Brilliant, eh? Bardwin, *tag* you're it! When you've got some stub text for a general introduction at Plague, alert me at my Talk page, and we'll whip out the tablecloth without disturbing the teacups. Here's the disambiguation page now! --User:Wetman 21:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC) :Parens for the date would be fine with me, particularly if we have an interest in doing the other two Italian plagues in the future. I don't think Wetman's aware of just how many plague (disease) related articles might end up on his disamb page, but I'll try and get busy on my "assignment" for the stub heading. I'm going to copy our discussion on "Great Plague"s to the GP of London talk page. I still think a disamb page for that would be useful. User:WBardwin 22:07, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
