Between the 15th and 16th centuries, Europe was marked by numerous epidemic events, and in those decades, men experienced that feeling of dramatic insecurity felt in the decades when the Black Death was rampant. The theme of health, illness and death is inexorably intertwined with that of the body, starting with human bodies that become palettes on which the disease engraves the macabre signs of its passage. In this space of contamination between healthy and diseased bodies, modernity finds its incipit. This interweaving of life and death is well exemplified by certain pandemic events: syphilis and the plague.

Abstract
Between the 15th and 16th centuries, Europe was marked by numerous epidemic events, and in those decades, men experienced that feeling of dramatic insecurity felt in the decades when the Black Death was rampant. The theme of health, illness and death is inexorably intertwined with that of the body, starting with human bodies that become palettes on which the disease engraves the macabre signs of its passage. In this space of contamination between healthy and diseased bodies, modernity finds its incipit. This interweaving of life and death is well exemplified by certain pandemic events: syphilis and the plague.File in questo prodotto:
