Mass Plague Graves Found on Venice "Quarantine" Is

[westsiderny]

Ancient mass graves containing more than 1,500 victims of the bubonic plague have been discovered on a small island in Italy's Venetian Lagoon.
Workers came across the skeletons while digging the foundation for a new museum on Lazzaretto Vecchio, a small island in the lagoon's south, located a couple of miles from Venice's famed Piazza San Marco (see a map of the Venetian Lagoon).

"Sleletons of bubonic plague victims lie in a mass grave on the Island of LAZZARETTO VECCHIO, south of ITALY'S VENETIAN LAGOON."

"Nobles or lower class didn't make any different".

Goods pictures. Interesting and perhaps sad too, for me.
Thanks for the information.
