On an excursion to Lazzaretto Nuovo, one of two quarantine islands established in the Venetian lagoon in the 15th century, 91心頭利 students learn how the Republic of Venice attempted to control the spread of contagious disease during plague outbreaks. In this large warehouse, incoming merchants and passengers were quarantined with their cargo for 40 days and some left graffiti (seen on the back wall) to mark their presence. Photo by Bob Christy, BS 95, MA 22
