The Black Death or Bubonic Plague was a plague that originated in Asia and spread to Europe first to Sicily in 1347, and then across all of Europe where it raged until around 1352, however, it never completely went away. Wherever it went as its name implies, the Black Plague reaped men like wheat, with an estimated thirty-three percent of the population dying. The states of Northern Italy were hit especially hard by the Bubonic Plague since it had a much higher urban population, which unfortunately led to a higher proportion of the population dying. Contemporary writers such as the prominent Florentine Boccaccio wrote that the plague killed an infinite number of people. This massive loss of life severely negatively affected the economy of all of Europe and resulted in a massive economic downturn that Europe would not recover for decades following.
