It is the spring of 1348, and you are a poor wool worker in Florence. Sailors are whispering about a sickness coming from the East, one that kills a healthy man in three days. By the end of summer, half of your street will be dead.

In this history documentary, we live through the deadliest pandemic ever recorded, from the inside. You will see how the plague crossed the world on trade ships, what the doctors believed was killing everyone, why the famous beaked mask did not even exist yet, and how terrified cities invented health boards, isolation and the very first quarantine.

We follow Florence through the worst summer in its history, the panic, the blame, the mass graves, and then the strange new world the survivors woke up to, where a pair of working hands was suddenly worth more than gold.

Would you have fled to the countryside with the rich, or stayed and worked? Tell me in the comments.
