Severe plague in Savona and Francesco Petrarca laments the death of his friend Francesco Albizzi, who presumably died there because of the plague in April 1348
Text originalOriginal text
Saona nocens atque impia [...] Pro quo quid aliud optem tibi? [..] (p. 982) Quicquid vel mortium vel morborum per omnes terras ac maria pestifer hic annus effudit, in te solam confluat; queque aliis annua, tibi pestis eterna sit.
Text translationEnglish translation of the text
O harmful and impious Savona […] what else should I wish for you? […] Whatever deaths or diseases this pestilential year has poured out across all lands and seas, may it all flow upon you alone; and whatever plague is yearly for others, may it be an eternal plague for you
