“There was no one who wept for any death, for all awaited death.”

Agnolo di Tura del Grosso

Quote · 1353

“They dug for each graveyard a huge trench, in which they laid the corpses as they arrived by hundreds at a time, piling them up tier upon tier as merchandise is stowed in a ship.”

Giovanni Boccaccio

Quote · 1353

“In this extremity of our city's suffering and tribulation the revered authority of laws, human and divine, was abased and all but totally dissolved, for lack of those who should have administered and enforced them, most of whom, like the rest of the citizens, were either dead or sick, or so hard pressed for servants that they were unable to execute any office; whereby every man was free to do what was right in his own eyes.”

Giovanni Boccaccio
