Markers of tuberculous infection in 17th-century Lucca (central Italy)
Spine Hyperkyphosis with Extensive Ankylosis in Seventeenth-Century Lucca (Italy) Disability in a Time of Crisis
Archaeological excavations in the city of Lucca (Tuscany, central Italy) brought to light a cemetery of 91 burials for people of low social status dating to the first half of the seventeenth century that originated during a catastrophic epidemic event. There were two epidemics in this period, plague in 1630–1631 and petechial typhus in 1648–1650. A double tomb (T.29) contained the skeletal remains of a female aged 16–20 years and a non-adult aged…
Histology of pulmonary tuberculosis in a 19th-century mummy from Comiso (Sicily, Italy)
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to investigate potential evidence of tuberculosis in mummified remains. MATERIALS: The natural mummy of an anonymous friar from the mortuary chapel of the church of Santa Maria della Grazia in Comiso (Sicily) METHODS: The mummy was studied through macroscopic examination; tissue sampling was conducted through breaches in the dorsal surface of the thorax. Radiological, histological and immunohistochemical analys…
Exploring the effects of weaning age on adult infectious disease mortality among 18th–19th century Italians
Objectives The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) hypothesis describes how early childhood stress affects morbidity and mortality later in life. The role of early childhood stress in mortality from infectious disease is understudied. Stressors in early childhood that weaken the immune system may result in increased susceptibility to infectious disease in adulthood. Weaning is one of the earliest potential periods of significant s…
Examining pathogen DNA recovery across the remains of a 14th century Italian friar (Blessed Sante) infected with Brucella melitensis
A 13th-century cystic echinococcosis from the cemetery of the monastery of Badia Pozzeveri (Lucca, Italy)
Autoptic practices in 16th–18th century Florence
A medieval case of digitalis poisoning
Embalming methods and plants in Renaissance Italy
Secondary burial and mummification practices in the Kingdom of the two Sicilies
The ancient concepts of death as duration and the practices of secondary burial, first analysed by Robert Hertz, still survive in many areas of southern Italy. According to these beliefs death was perceived not as a sudden event, but as a long-lasting process, during which the deceased person had to go through a transitory phase, passing from one state of existence to another. Recent archival research about the terresante, the funerary hypogea re…
