PLAGUE IS AN INFECTIUS DISEASE, WHICH CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO HUMAN BEINGS THROUGH THE BITES OF FLEAS OR PARASITES, HOSTED BY INFECTED RATS OR PETS.Loading...
THE "BUBONIC PLAGUE”, ALSO KNOWN AS THE "BLACK DEATH", HIT NOJA (NOW NOICATTARO, A TOWN NEAR BARI) BETWEEN 1815-1816.
IT PRESENTED SYMPTOMS, SUCH AS FEVER WITH DELIRIUM, SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES - IN PARTICULAR IN THE INGUINAL OR AXILLARY AREA - AND RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTIES.
IF LEFT UNTREATED, IT COULD LEAD TO DEATH.

THE ”BLACK DEATH” CAME FROM THE BALKANS: LIBORIO DIDONNA, A MERCHANT, WENT TO TORRE PELOSA, A SMALL TOWN NEAR BARI (NOW TORRE A MARE) AND BOUGHT A LOAD OF INFECTED FURS COMING FROM DALMATIA. MR DIDONNA AND HIS WIFE, PASQUA CAPPELLI, WERE THE EARLIEST PEOPLE TO BE INFECTED AND DIE IN NOICATTARO.
AT THE BEGINNING, NOBODY KNEW THE TRUTH: SOME DOCTORS WERE SENT IN ORDER TO CALM THE POPULATION AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS "PUTRID EXANTHEMATOUS FEVER", WHICH PARTICULARLY STRUCK THE POOR AND WEAK PEOPLE. ONLY A MONTH LATER, THE DOCTORS WERE MORE PRECISE, SAYING THAT IT WAS THE "BUBONIC PLAGUE", BUT THE INFECTION HAD ALREADY SPREAD ALL OVER THE TOWN.
KING FERDINAND IV OF BOURBON REACTED ENCAPSULATING THE TOWN OF NOICATTARO TO PREVENT THE EPIDEMIC FROM SPREADING TO THE REST OF THE KINGDOM OF NAPLES: EACH PERSON, WHO TRIED TO GO BEYOND THE BORDER AREA, WAS SHOT.
IT WAS ORDERED TO CLOSE NOYA IN A TRIPLE MILITARY CORDON (OVER 1200 MEN), WITH ARTILLERY AND CAVALRY, TO GUARD THE INFECTED TOWN. SOME CANNONS WERE PLACED ON THE HILL OF TRISORIO.

IN ADDITION TO THE TWO DITCHES TO ISOLATE THE TOWN, ANOTHER CORDON WAS BUILT FAR FROM ABOUT TEN MILES AND A LARGER ONE WAS BUILT TO ISOLATE THE ENTIRE PROVINCE OF BARI.
