Peterson, Anna M. - Krolikowski, Courtney, ""For the good and pacific state of the people and the Commune": Healthscaping in Bologna and Siena before the Black Death (c. 1100-1348)", dins: Jones, Lori (ed.), Disease and the Environment in the Medieval and Early Modern Worlds, Londres, Routledge, 2022, *** -***.

Resum: This chapter discusses how healthscaping policies and practices were conceived and enacted in two northern Italian cities between the twelfth and mid-fourteenth centuries to prevent disease and keep the local environment clean of corruption of various kinds. Bologna and Siena make for fertile comparison: each was both a powerful commercial hub in its respective region and an important religious centre. The healthscaping policies that emerged in the two cities were largely shaped by contemporary understandings of health and disease and demonstrate how various aspects of civic life were impacted by the desire to keep urban spaces clean, respectable, and to ensure the health of all, no matter their social class or status.
